PREFACE.
In the pages following, besides giving the lines of descent as
far back as traced, are brief narratives, sketches, etc., of individual
members of the families of Miller, Woods, Harris, Wallace, Maupin,
Oldham, Kavanaugh, Brown, and others. The lineage running back
to one Miller, of Anglo-Scotch-Irish-Franco-German blood; Woods,
an English Trooper of Scoth-Irish blood; Maupin, a Frenchman;
Harris of Wales; Overton, an English soldier; Wallace, of the
Scottish Clan Wallace (Scotch-Irish); Dabney, of French origin;
Kavanaugh, from Ireland; Oldham, Anglo- Welsh, and Brown, of
English ancestry. By intermarrige these several bloods have inter-
mingled and coursed into the veins of people who today are a promi-
nent part of the best citizenship of our great country, and have all
along, in the years gone by, held, and are now occupying, high
positions of public trust in the body politic, and in the counsels of
the nation their influences are felt, as well as filling prominent
places in the marts of trade and commerce and agriculture and
every otherwise, and have spread to the remotest portions of
the globe.
Among the early mothers ap'pear the names of Lynn, Worsop,
Campbell, Overton, Walters, Clairbourne, Glenn, Anderson, McCord,
Bratton, Rice, Mullens, and others of whom very little more than
the mere name is known, and sometimes hardly that because the
lines have not been run out — ^made very difficult to trace from the
fact, as it seems, that the heads of the house pretty generally have
been slow and careless in the making, preserving and handing down
full and complete family records, and often when this was done rea-
sonably well, by some mishap the same were lost or destroyed.
Therefore, in many, if not most instances, only very meagre accounts
can be obtained, especially of the maternal line, and often the little
gathered does not satisfy, but only produces a desire to know more
— there seems to be no stopping place.
The data at hand has been gotten from old family and court
records, letters and testimony of creditable persons, and from every
source considered reliable, within reach, by long and patient search
and labor. An endeavor has been made to put the facts together
in a clear and comprehensive shape. No doubt some errors occur,
and should be noted and corrected when detected. In a work of
this kind perfection need not be expected. All matters set forth as
facts are known or believed to be true from substantial evidence.
The work is submitted to the kind and charitable judgment of
the families and friends, and pardon is asked for shortcomings and
imperfections. It is confidently hoped that the presentation may
be interesting enough to cause some, at least, to overlook the faults,
and that some good may result.
This book is divided into eight parts, and each part into chap-
ters, and the chapters into sections, for convenience and easy refer-
ence. A genealogical table precedes each part.
Part I. The Miller Family.
Part II. The Woods Family.
Part III. The Harris Family.
Part IV. The Wallace Family.

History and Gcnealoyl'y,
Atoms massed, make up the universe.
The many littles make at last the whole;
Xo man is great, Imt each created soul
Has, 3'et, within, the promise of perfection,
The image, and the stamp of the divine.
Adversity may hinder, dwarf and crush,
A chilling frost may blight the Ijudding flower.
And years break down the growing tree of greatness
But, as the cycles roll, each passing life
Bequeaths its portion to the common good.
The generations piling, each on each,
Time writing still prosperity and failure.
And still recording effort and achievement,
And life and death, and shade and shine succeeding,
Bring on the world to that millenial age,
When every hill shall blossom with perfection,
The waters leap and dance for very joy,
And man regenerate stand great and good,
The statue and the fullness of a God.

Article 1 — Kentucky and Madison County Items.
One of the three counties into which Fincastle County, Virginia,
was divided, December 31, 1776, was Kentucky County, and Col.
Richard Calloway and Col. John Todd were elected the first repre-
sentatives of Kentucky County in the Virginia General Assembly.
Afterwards Col. John Miller, Gen. Green Clay, Squire Boom, and
Col. William Irvine, living in what was afterwards and is now Mad-
ison County, were members of the Virginia General Assembly from
Kentucky County.
In May, 1780, the said county was divided and established into
the three counties of Jefferson, Fayette and Lincoln.
In October, 178 4, the part of Jefferson south of Salt River was
established and named as the County of Nelson.
May 1, 178 5, Bourbon County was formed out of the northern
part of Fayette County.
August 1, 1785, out of Lincoln the counties of Madison and
Mercer were carved (the county of Madison then embracing a much
larger territory than it does at this day), extending and taking in
the Goose Creek waters. Clay and many other eastern and southern
counties.
May 1, 1788, Mason was carved out of Bourbon, and Woodford
out of Fayette, making at this date nine counties into which the
original Kentucky County had been carved, which comprised the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, when admitted into the Union as a
State, June 1, 1792, with General Isaac Shelby, of Danville, her
first Governor; James Brown, Secretary of State; John Logan,
Treasurer, and George Nicholas. Attorney General; her constitution
at that time made no provision for a Lieutenant Governor.

30 Histori/ and Genealogies
The first village of Kentuclvv, and the only one within its bor-
yy ders prior to the settlement at Harrodsburg in 1774-5, was in
what is now Greenup County, opposite tlie mouth of the Scioto
River, built by the Shawanee Indians and some French traders years
before the French War in 17 53, where in 1805 stood the little vil-
lage of Alexandria, about a mile below where Portsmouth, Ohio, is.
^ In 1773, this Indian village consisted of about twenty log cabins
with roofs, doors, windows and chimneys made of clap-boards, and
some cleared ground around them.
Kentucky was the hunting ground of the northern and southern
tribes of Indians on which different tribes often met and tried their
rights in deadly combat. The six nations north of the Ohio River:
the Mohawks, Tuscaroras, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, and
Senecas, with the dependant or sub-tribes: the Shawanees, the Del-
ewares, the Mingos, the Wyandotts, and others, and the tribes south
of Kentucky: the Cherokees, the Chickasaws, and others, claimed
Kentucky as their Hunting Ground, and not only fought one an-
other, but harassed the white settlers for years, till about the year
179 3. After this year there were only occasionally a few lurking,
skulking marauders spying through the interior settlements.
At different periods from 1747 to 1772, Kentucky was visited
by various parties of white men, adventurers and hunters, but the
first that gave any promise of actual, permanent settlement and im-
provement was in 177 3, when a large number of surveys were made.
Kentucky being the Hunting and Battle Ground of the various
tribes of Indians was called the Dark and Bloody Ground.
The first fort in Kentucky was erected March 26, 1775, in what
was afterwards and is now Madison County, about five miles south
of the present city of Richmond, and a little over a mile in a south-
west direction from Estill's old station, on a small branch of Tay-
lor's Fork, and about a quarter of a mile west of Hart's Fork of
Silver Creek, upon a little elevated ground, about one hundred yards
from Bessie's Trace, and called Twetty's or the Little Fort. It was
built of logs in a square, six or seven feet high, the day after the
attack made by the Indians before the break of day upon the com-
panies of Colonel Daniel Boone and Captain William Twetty, as a
protection against further surprises and sudden attacks of the In-
dians. The wounded, Captain Twetty, who had been shot in both
knees, and young Felix Walker, were removed into the fort and
there nursed, and the third day after receiving the wound in said
battle, and the second day after the fort was built, Captain Twetty
died, and his body was buried inside the fort. A portion of the
company remained at the fort to nurse Walker until April 6, 1775,
when he was well enough to be moved, and was taken to Boones-
borough, which latter fort, although commenced was not completed
until June 14, 1775.
For several years Twetty's, or the Little Fort, was one of the
best known and most noted places in what is now Madison County.
Boones Fort, or Boonesborough, was the second fort built and
the first station fortified, and where Colonel Daniel Boone and his
company arrived April 1, 1775, which fort was completed June
14, 1775.
William Bush, Jesse Oldham, Rev. Joseph Proctor, Peter Hackett
and ten other men in their depositions describe the Indian attack
and the Little Fort above mentioned.
Harrodsburg is reputed to be the oldest town in the State built
by white settlers.
In order of formation, Madison County was the seventh, and
Histonj and Gcuralogics 21
«
was carved out of Lincoln, and was established by act of the General
Assembly of Virginia in 1785; the first court was organized and
held by Justices of the Peace, holding commissions from Patrick
Henry, Governor of Virginia, August 2 2, 1786, at the house of
George Adams, and the first court house was erected at the place
where Captain David Gass' path leaves the Great Road, near Tay-
lor's Fork of Silver Creek; and it is claimed by some that the work
was done under contract by William Golden, son-in-law of Daniel
Maupin, Sr., (who died in Madison County in 1803). Mr. Golden
lived to be 110 years old and died just about the beginning of or
a short time before the Civil War.
This court house, or county seat, was called Milford, or Old
Town. In 1798 the county seat was removed to Richmond, whei-e
the first settlement and improvement of the place had been made
by Colonel John Miller, who granted 50 acres for the town, which
was surveyed and laid off into lots and streets by the surveyor, John
Crooke. (See Part I, Chapter 1.)
At the residence of Colonel Charles Robertson, at the Sycamore
Shoals, on the Watanga, a tributary to the Holston River, on March
17, 1775, a treaty known as the Treaty of Fort Stanwix with the
chief warrior Oconostoto and other prominent chiefs, towit: Atacul-
lacullah (or Little Carpenter) and Savanooko (or Coronoh) of the
Overhill Cherokee Indians, was consummated by nine gentlemen
from Granville and adjoining counties of North Carolina, towit;
Colonel Richard Henderson, John Litterell, Nathaniel Hart, Thomas
Hart, David Hart, William Johnston, John Williams, James Hogg,
and Leonard Hendley Bullock, to whom, for 10,000 pounds lawful
money of Great Britain, were deeded a large portion of the beauti-
ful, fertile lands of Kentucky, between the Cumberland and the
Kentucky (Chenoco or Louisa) Rivers, not less than seventeen mil-
lion acres, which company was called the Henedrson Company,
afterwards the Transylvania Company, or Colony, making them pro-
prietors of a magnificent territory, and they organized a form of
government for their colony called the Transylvania, and the House
of Delegates, or representatives of this colony, assembled May 2 3,
1775, under a large spreading elm tree, at Boonesborough, on the
Kentucky River, and held, on what is Madison County soil, the first
legislative meeting west of the Allegheny Mountains.
After heated contest in the court and before the Virginia Gen-
eral Assembly, the treaty and government organization of this col-
ony was nullified but a considerable tract of land was granted the
company by the Virginia General Assembly.
Boonesborough was established as a town by act of said As-
sembly of Virginia in October 1779; twenty acres had already been
laid off into lots and streets and fifty acres more directed to be
so laid off, and five hundred and seventy acres, the balance of a
section, were to be laid off for a common called Lick Common.
The first trustees appointed, Richard Calloway, Charles Minn
Thruston, Levin Powell, Edmund Taylor, James Estill, Edward
Bradley, John Kennedy, David Gass, Pemberton Rollins, and Daniel
Boone, gentlemen, refused to act, and by act of 1787, Thomas Ken-
nedy, Aaron Lewis, Robert Rodes, Green Clay, Archibald Woods,
Benjamin Bedford, John Sappington, William Irvine, David Crews
and Higgason Grubbs, gentlemen, were made trustees of the town.
The historic elm under which the first legislative council was
held, and under which the first sermon preached in Kentucky was
delivered, stood on the Lick Commons, and was, in about 1828, cut
22 Histonj and Genealogies
down for its wood by the servants of Samuel Holley — a very un-
thoughtful piece of work.
From its incipiency Boonesborough was the main object of In-
dian hostilities. Three days after it was begun — on the 6th of
April, 1775 — the Indians killed a white man of the fort. Decem-
ber 24, 1775, they killed another and wounded one. April 15,
1777, a simultaneous attack was made on Boonesborough, Harrods-
burg and Logan's Fort by a large number of Indian warriors, in
which Boonesborough suffered the loss of some men, some corn and
some cattle, but the Indians were forced to retire. July 4 of the
same year the fort was again attacked with fury, but without suc-
cess, by about two hundred warriors; this seige lasted two days
and nights. August 8, 1778, a third siege was made by five hun-
dred armed and painted Indian warriors, led by Canadian officers,
with the display of British colors, and a surrender of the fort de-
manded. At about the same time twenty-five Wyandotts made an
attack on Estill's Station, and were chased by Col. Estill and his
men, and led to the bloody battle of Little Mountain, near where
Mount Sterling is, where Col. Estill and several of his men w-ere
killed and a number wounded.
In August, 1792, seven Indians made an attack on the dwelling
house of Mr. Stephenson, in Madison County but were finally re-
pulsed. Mr. Stephenson was badly wounded.
The last Indian incursion into the county of Madison w^as in
1793. After this date there were only a few prowling Indian thieves
and vagabonds.
The Long Hunter's Road led from Pepper's Ferry, on New River,
in Virginia, to Rockcastle River in Kentucky, distance 316 miles.
The Wilderness Road, from Philadelphia through the Valley of
Virginia and Cumberland Gap, to the Falls of the Ohio (Louisville,
Ky. ), distance 82 6 miles, or 208 miles from Cumberland Gap onto
the waters of Dick's River to the Falls, the great traveled road
from Virginia to Kentucky, through Cumberland Gap. Hazel Patch,
Crab Orchard, and Logan's Fort, to Danville, Harrodsburg and other
interior settlements in Kentucky.
Boone's Trace was cut from the Long Island on the Holston
River, not far from the place of Treaty of Fort Stanwix, at the
Sycamore Shoals on the Watanga, a branch of the Holston, to
Boonesborough, on the Kentucky (Louisa) River, by Colonel Daniel
Boone under a bargain with the proprietors of the Transylvania or
Henderson Company, to go before and open the road (2 33 miles).
At Big Moccasin Gap the three roads, the Long Hunter's Path,
the Wilderness Road, and Boone's Trace, came together and con-
tinued the same to the Hazel Patch; here Boone's Trace branched
off northward, through Boone's Gap in the Big Hill, to Boones-
borough.
The Warrior's Path, traveled by the Indians through the Hunt-
ing Ground, traversed Kentucky from the villages of the southern
tribes, across the Cumberland Mountains at its southern boundary
near the mouth of Buffalo Creek, branching to the northern villages.
Old Shawnee Town near the mouth of the Scioto River, the Mingo
nation crossing the Ohio at the mouth of Cabin Creek, a fork taking
down the Licking to its mouth, crossing there the Ohio to the Great
and Little Miami towns, and other points in the northwest.
In the interesting and perilous pioneer days many of the immi-
grants from Virginia and North and South Carolina traveled these
roads — the Wilderness, the Long Hunter's Path, and Boone's Trace.
Others from Pennsylvania and northeasterly parts came down the
Historij and Genealogies 23
Monongahela and Ohio Rivers to Lees Town, the Falls of the Ohio
and other points; thence different routes to the interior.

The Dunmore war resulted in a treaty of peace with the six
nations of Indians north of the Ohio, in which the Indians surren-
dered all claim to Kentucky. But on account of renegade Indians
and traitorous whites, who unscrupulously violated the terms of
peace, it was difficult to enforce the treaty with all the faithful
efforts of the leading spirits on both sides of the question.
Colonel Daniel Boone was Deputy Surveyor of Madison County,
Kentucky. In 17 88 Aaron Lewis and William Calk were appointed
by the court to examine Daniel Boone touching his capacity to
execute the office of Deputy surveyor of Madison County, Kentucky.

well and John Kennedy, Commissioners of the Court.
Squire Boone, deponent, respecting the claim of the heirs of
Andrew Hannah for 1,000 acres of land — the meeting place was
Boone's Mill seat. He describes Gerusha's Grove, Avhere Squire
Boone built a cabin and began to work at a mill, bu found it not
convenient to go on with it, and went into the settlement to move
his family out. This was in 1775. He gave George Smith Gerusha's
Grove on Silver Creek. Boone made it his camping place with many
others from Boonesborough to St. Asaph's Spring. St. Asaph's Ford
is here at the upper end of a little island, at the place known as
Boone's Mill Seat. The cabin is on the hill side close below the
ford on the west side of the creek. He sold the cabin to .Joseph
Benny. Squire Boone, Col. Calloway, Maj. Hoy and others came to
the place some time in August, 1775. He moved his family out in
1775. He made Gerusha's Grove in July, 1775. Within the dis-
tance of a mile about northeast course a black oak tree marked
"S. & B." In answer to a question he said, "Before any person gave
me any information I asked if it was not that course and distance,
and they told me nearly. . I believe it was James Harris on the
road between Silver Creek and David Gasses."

There were people came out and built cabins three-fourths or
one-half of a mile above here called Banta. I was there when the
cabins were building 16 or 18 years ago. Always heard the branch
called Bone's Run. Banta's cabins stand on this side of Muddy
Creek, towards Boonesborough on the lower side, and the same side
this branch runs in Muddy Creek.
•^G Hisfori/ and Genealogies
(D, page 692) Frederick Referdam, age 50 years, same date,
same case and same commissioners.
I was passing frequently through the woods in 1781. I saw a
tree marlved with the first letters of Joseph Deban's name standing
about a mile up the branch from the mouth, on the north side. In
the year 177 9 he heard of the tree marked near 800 miles from this
place on Muddy Creek waters. Since he came to Kentucky he al-
ways heard the branch called Deban's Run.
(D, page 694) Peter Hackett, same date, same case, same place
and same Commissioners.
(D, page 69 4) Thomas Warren, same, about 55 years old.
About 18 or 19 years ago the Dutch Company came up, called
Banta's Company, to build cabins above here, about one-half mile.
Some years after he heard this branch called Deban's Run, which
he expected took its name from some of that company. It was a
general thing at Estill's Station to call the Bald Hills about here
the Bald Hills, but some called them Bald Knobs. On the east side
of the creek they begin about one-half mile from here and run very
thick on the east side about 4 or 5 miles, and on the west side they
begin about 4 or 5 miles from here, and that it is 4 or 5 miles to
the Knobs as called at Estill's Station, but might decently be called
mountains. Knew nothing of Banta's beginning.
(D, page 69 5) David Lynch, 3 8 years old, same date, case,
place and soforth.
This branch is the only one he ever heard called Deban's Run.
He has been in Kentucky as his home ever since 1777, on Christ-
mas Eve, and from summer of 17 80 until this time has been well
acquainted with these woods as any place in the State; never heard
it (the branch) called by any other name than Deban's Run. Saw
a tree marked up the branch on the north side; he thinks a white
oak. It is 8 or 10 miles to the Knobs, a south course. The Bald
Hills near here some call Bald Hills, some Bald Knobs, begin on
the east side of the creek within one-half mile of here or a mile,
and extend up the east side 5, 6 or 7 miles with here and there a
skirt of woods; between them and the nearest part of the mountains
is 6 or 7 miles off from this place.
(Commissioner Daniel Miller's home was near this place, and
near the mouth of a branch of what is called Hickory Lick, and
near here in about 1782, as related by Ambrose Coffee, in his depo-
sition below copied, Peter Duree, John Bullock and John Bullock's
[y wife, who was a daughter of old man Duree, were killed by Indians.
He didn't remember when old Mr. Duree died, but Henry Duree and
Daniel Duree were killed at the White Ooak spring on an early date,
and Copart was killed at Boonesborough on an early date.)

The Old Trace from Estill's Station to Miller's Bottom went by
the Mulberry Lick, Hoy's Lick, on a branch of Station Camp Creek,
just below Harris Massie's crossing, main Station Gamp, about a
mile from the mouth. I know of six Licks on Station Camp or the
main South Fork thereof. One about 1 14 miles below near Hen-
ton's, the second at this place, the third at the Long Ford on the
2(S Hstovji and Genealogies
North Fork of Station Camp, the fourth the old lick on the east
side of Station Camp, the fifth and sixth on the west side
of the main South Fork of Station Camp, the uppermost one not
more than four miles from this place.
(E, page 23 6) Azariah Martin, at the same time and place,
before the same Commissioners; John White also present.
Deponent Martin. Locating Licks. One about 1 1/4 miles below
here on the east side of Station Camp on the side a noil, the sec-
ond at Hinton's about the same distance on the west side of the
creek, the third this place, the fourth about a quarter west of this
on a branch, the fifth on the bank of the creek about 14 mile above
here on the west side, the sixth about 1 ^2 miles from here on the
bank of the creek on the east, the seventh on the bank of the creek
on the west side about 2 ^2 miles, the eighth on the bank of the
creek on the east about 4 i^ miles from this place, also the ninth on
the War Fork, called the Salt Lick, besides a number of smaller
deer licks too tedious for me to recollect and point out at present.
In April, 1784, I came from Estill's Station in company with
2 Samuel Estill, 3 Harris Massie, 4 John Woods, 5 William Kava-
naugh, 6 Nicholas Proctor, 7 John Mitchell, 8 William McCrary, and
several others (the others were probably those named in Humphrey
Baker's deposition, towit: 9 Humphrey Baker, 10 Cal. Estill,
11 Alex. Reid, 12 Benjamin Estill, 13 Benjamin Cooper, 14 Braxton
Cooper, 15 Sharswell Cooper, 16 Patrick Woods, 17 Charles Shurley,
V 18 Higgason Harris, 19 Daniel Hancock, 2 0 Jesse Noland, which
composes a company of twenty men) in pursuit of a * * Indian
camp near the mouth of Station Camp Creek, and I was showed by
some of the company at or near the Blue Banks, about two miles
from this place, there was the War Road to our right hand. And
some short time after I came the same way with William Cradle-
bough and passed by this lick along this trace, and he, also, in-
formed me this was the War Path, and he showed me pictures
made with both red paint and black, that he said was done by the
Indians, and in particular showed me marks and pictures at this
place, which are now some to be seen, and other trees that had
them on it were cut down by my family.
The beginning tree, two or three feet from the ground, is about
fourteen feet around. In my answer to Estill I knew nothing but
by information. Now I say the same.
We on that scout did not follow this trace any, but on my trav-
eling here the second time I traveled it perhaps between three and
five miles up there, and up the West Fork to the Red Lick, thence
to Estill's Station. But as to the size of the War Road, I can only
answer it was a small path, and from where it came I know not.
Do you know that this lick is on the War Road?
I know this lick is on the same trace that was showed to me for
the War Road.
William Cradlebough was alive, for all I know or ever heard,
and was living on the head waters of Otter Creek two months ago
in Madison County.
(E, page 240) Peter Hackett, on the same occasion, Feb. 5 and
6, 1801, at the house of Joseph Wells, on Station Creek, before
Stephen Trigg and Joseph Boggs, Commissioners of the Court.
In the fall of 1780 was the first of my being acquainted with
Station Camp Creek. The fall after James Estill was killed I was
over on the east side of the creek passing to Miller's Bottom. We
saw sign, thought to be Indian sign, on the east side of the creek,
going down towards the Kentucky River, along a small path. Since
^ Ilistonj and GenraJogics 29
that I was going up the river with Shelby on a campaign after
Indians on the east side of Station Camp, nearly opposite the lower
crossing on Station Camp, when I saw at a lick at a small distance,
perhaps not more than %■ mile from said crossing, a number of
Indian pictures, which were generally marked with black. I thought
that the War Path went up on the east side of said creek, from
said Indian Picture Lick, along up the Fork which is now called
the South Fork, but which is called the Main Station Camp Creek,
and there was a path cross the North Fork, at an old lick above
the forks of Station Camp, which I thought was the same path called
the War Path, which path I think crossed the creek twice.
The Trace from Estill's Station to Miller's Bottom came out by
the Mulberry Lick, from there to Hoy's Lick on the waters of Sta-
tion Camp, about i/^ mile below, where Harris Massie now lives,
thence down Hoy's Lick Branch a small distance, thence leaving
Hoy's Lick Branch on the right hand, and what is now called
Crooked Creek on the right hand, thence down into Station Camp
Bottom, thence the bottom to a ford, opposite to the Picture Lick,
thence up the Kentucky River to Miller's Bottom. I was passing
by from one lick to another about sixteen or eighteen years ago,
and Samuel Estill showed me an old lick on the bank of a small
branch, where Azariah Martin now lives, running into Station Camp
on the west side, where Samuel Estill told me James Estill and him-
self had an entry of land of 1,000 acres beginning on a large oak
standing on the bank of the lick, from this lick at which the tree
stands that was the beginning to the crossing at what I thought was
the War Road above the forks of Station Camp Creek. At the time
I went on this campaign with Shelby I saw the pictures and they
appeared to be fresh done. I did not examine whether they all were
newly done, but my idea is now that the blazes on which the marks
were had not been done a great while. But powder marks may
appear to be newly done when they have been done a great while.
There was a trace that came down from Hoy's Lick to what is
called Hinton's Lick on the waters of Station Camp, thence across
some small ridges bearing up Station Camp by where Joseph Wells
now lives, thence across Station Camp nearly opposite to where
Joseph Wells now lives, thence to Miller's Bottom. It is about 2 i/^
miles between the two crossings of Station Camp from Hoy's Lick
to Miller's Bottom. There was a trace led past both the beginning
lick showed me and the lick where Hinton lives. It was a com-
mon thing from my early settling in this country, and from my
general knowledge of the woods, for buffalo traces to lead from
one lick to another, and from licks much frequented by game for
traces to lead from them, even several miles out into the range.
I think in the fall of 1780 I was first acquainted with the lower
ace across Station Samp to Miller's Bottom.
(E, page 242) Rev. Joseph Proctor, at the same place, Feb.
6, 1801, before the same Commissioners.
I have been in Kentucky ever since the big battle at Boones-
borough, and obtained a pre-emption of 400 acres from the Com-
missioners.
The Indians that traveled the South Fork of Station Camp gen-
erally crossed the river above the mouth of Station Camp and came
through the small Picture Lick, and so up the creek, passing op-
posite to where Azariah Martin now lives on the east side of the
creek, through a large cany bottom to the South Fork of said creek,
and I think the trace crossed about 1% or 2 miles above the mouth
of the Red Lick Fork, at a small lick where there was a white oak
30 History and Genealogies
stood on the east side of the creek painted with red paint; the trace
then turned up on the west side of the creels, it then ran up the
creelv and crossed it several times to a ford now called the War
Fork, and nearly out at the head of that fork. It was generally
the opinion of the people in the country that that was the War
Road, and this deponent's opinion for thinking it was the War
Road was the frequency of their traveling of it and the camps along
the road which he has seen. One in particular, a Bark Camp, which
he thinks was nearly thirty yards long. He believes the trace was
the most traveled in the years 1780 and 1781, from Estill's Station
to Miller's Bottom, came out by the Mulberry Lick to Hoy's Lick,
and he believes the one most frequently traveled from Hoy's Lick
on the waters of Station Camp was from Hoy's Lick down Crooked
Creek bottoms to the bottoms on Station Camp, leaving Crooked
Creek on the right hand, thence down Station Camp Creek opposite
to the Little Picture Lick, thence to Miller's Bottom. There was
another trace we used to travel some times from Hoy's Lick on to
Clear Creek and down Clear Creek to the crossing some distance
above the mouth, thence cross the point of the ridge onto Station
Camp Bottom, up the bottom to the above mentioned ford on the
first trace. There was another trace that led from Hoy's Lick down
Hoy's Lick for about a mile, thence cross Hoy's Lick Fork to
Crooked Creek, thence through a large level white oak flat to a
lick, thence to the top of a high ridge, the banks of the south side
of the ridge was naked to the blue where the buffalos use to wallow,
thence to a small creek to a lick on the bank of the creek on the
south side, thence to a lick where Hinton now lives, thence it turned
up on the ridge crossing several small ridges, along by where Joseph
Wells now lives, thence to the lick where Azariah Martin now lives,
thence cross Station Camp, thence over the mountains, through the
woods to Miller's Bottom, or to the river, there being no trace from
the crossing of Station Camp to the river.
Question by Samuel Estill: Do you recollect in the years 1780
and 17 81, when George Adams came to range from Estill's Sta-
tion with a company of men, that the said Adams applied to James
Estill for a couple of pilots to show him all the suspected crossing
places by the Indians, that James Estill ordered you and myself to
pilot said Adams to Hinds Lick, as he thought it the most certain
place for the Indians passing, and did not James Estill order us to
pilot him over the river to the Picture Lick, and he refused to go,
it being out of the county?
Ans. I remember of being out with Major Adams on the scout,
and I think, as well as I remember, we came out to Hinds Lick
and went down to the river, or nearly there. Major Adams would
go no further; then we turned and came back till we struck the
trace again, and some where about where Hinton now lives we
came on the sign of the Indians, then followed them along by where
Joseph Wells now lives, and so on by where Azariah Martin now
lives, thence up the creek above the forks; then night came on us
and we lost the trail of the Indians. The next morning we found
the Indian trail where the trace crossed the Red Lick Fork.
That a free negro by the name of Hinds, with another man by
the name of John Dumford, came to Hinds' Lick and the said Hinds
was there killed at the lick, from whence that lick took its name.
Question by Samuel Estill. Was not the War Road on the west
side of Station Camp as large as that on the east side at an early
period?
Ans. There was a road that came up Hinds Lick branch by
History and Genealogies 31
Hinds Lick that came over cross Clear Creek to a small lick, thence
cross a bald point to a small lick above Hoy's Lick, at the head of
a little drain that emptied into Hoy's Lick Branch; there was a
plain trace from the small lick to Hoy's Lick, from thence down the
trace by a small lick about % of a mile from Hoy's Lick which I
did not mention before, and so along by Azariah Martin's as before
mentioned, thence along by the Red Lick, and I believe the trace
on the west side of the creek at an early period was as large as
the trace on the east side of the creek; I mean from Hoy's Lick
along up by here, or Martin's. I do not remember that there was
a trace cross the Red Lick Fork where the Indians crossed when
I was out with Adams. There was a trace led up on both sides of
said creek.
Question by Green Clay. How many licks do you know of on
the waters of Station Camp on the east side of the creek from the
mouth up to the War Road Fork?
Ans. The Indian Picture Lick, the next is where the War Road
the South Fork crossing of the creek the first.
Question by Clay. How many on the west side of the creek?
Ans. I remember of thirteen at and below Azariah Martin's on
the waters of Station Camp. And above Azariah Martin's to the
ford where the War Road crosses, I know of twelve. What I mean
by the War Road is that that runs up the South Fork of Station
Camp as above mentioned from the Indian Picture Lick and out
at the head of the War Fork, and so out to the Wilderness Road.
I don't know that the Indians have any particular crossing place
or road that they traveled — one more than another. When out with
Adams we did not see any Indians. My reason for believing that
they were Indians was that, that I knew of no white man being out
in the woods at that time but ourselves, and it was generally be-
lieved by the company at the time that it was Indians. I do not
remember of any path from Hoy's Lick to Station Camp bottom at
the time that Shelby and Logan went out on the campaign up the
Kentucky River. When we came to the bottom there was no old
trace to the ford of the creek until Shelby and Logan went out;
they made a smart trace all the way to the ford of the creek; the
path went through the said Picture Lick, then turned over the ridge
to the head of a small branch that ran into the Kentucky and down
the branch to the river bottom and up the river bottom, thence
along on the hill sides next to the river, until it crossed a small
creek that is called Doe Creek, thence still up the river on this side.
Joseph Proctor was not only a woodsman, Indian scout and spy,
but a preacher of the Gospel.

may be more or less than % of a mile.

Ques. by Robert Caldwell. Was you a making a survey for
Joshua Barton, deceased, under Henderson? Ans. I was, and acted
as marker to mark a 1,000 acre survey, and this honey locust and
ash was the beginning corner where we now are. Ques. by the same.
When was the 1,000 acre survey made under Henderson? Ans. I
believe it was in April in the year 1776. Ques. by Samuel Campbell.
Who surveyed it? Ans. John Kennedy. Ques. by the same. What
kind of a compass did he have to survey it with? Ans. A small
compass which is called a pocket compass. Ques. by Robert Cald-
well. Which way did you go when making the survey under Hen-
derson from the beginning corner? Ans. The surveyor was ordered
to run south, which I believe he did, and crossed one or two large
branches of Silver Creek, 400 poles to the corner, a black walnut,
and I think there was another tree marked for the corner, but do
not remember what it was, thence west crossing Silver Creek four
times to a walnut, hickory and mulberry, about one hundred yards
from the creek, which is the corner we now are at, and from here
we intended to run north, and I believe did, with a view to st -ike
the southwest corner of the Stockfield tract of 1,000 acres, but did
not find it, to my knowledge, at the time, nor did make a corner
as I recollect, but concluded wherever the lines intersected should
be the corner, thence with my line of 1,000 acres granted me under
Henderson to the beginning corner. Ques. by Samuel Campbell. Do
you recollect the length of the second line? Ans. I don't, but sup-
pose it to be 400 poles. Ques. by the same. Do you know the length
of your line from the southeast corner to the southwest corner?
Ans. I called it 400 poles. Ques. by Caldwell. Did you hear John
Kennedy say he had an entry on the waters of Silver Creek before
he surveyed a tract of 1,000 acres for Joshua Barton, deceased?
Ans. I know he had a claim called the Locust Bent, and I believe
had one under Henderson for the same. Ques. by ditto. Did you
understand, when being in company with Barton and Kennedy, that
these two claims above mentioned would interfere?. Ans. No. I
never heard any such thing and this deponent further saith not.

(E, page 59 4) Joseph Kennedy, at the dwelling house of An-
drew Bogie, on Silver Creek, December 25, 1803, before Humphrey
Jones, Robert Porter and William Green, Commissioners, on 300
acres entered in the name of John Kennedy. Surveyer in the name
of Thomas Kennedy.
I have been acquainted with the place ever since the year 17 80.
Had often heard his brother, John Kennedy, say that he had an
entry of 300 acres, that he withdrew his entry adjoining the Elk
Garden. Had corn in the bottom below the spring. Don't know of
any other spring on Silver Creek that would answer the description
of this spring; nor of no long flat neither on the north nor on the
south sides of the Silver Creek that would answer the description of
this bottom betwixt this place and the mouth of the long branch.
(Describes trees marked J. K., etc., and speaks of the spring.) I
traveled the trace which crossed Silver Creek at the lower end of
Bogie's farm the first time in the year 1779, and it was called at
that time Boone's Trace, from Boones to Logans and from Logans
to Boones. I knew of another trace leading from Boonesborough
to Logans known by the name of Logan's Trace, at a place known
by the name of the Cool Lick where McCormack's mill dam is now,
down about 8 or 10 miles above this place. I think I heard of the
trace from Logan's to Boone's which crossed Silver Creek near wherp
Andrew Bogie now lives called Logan's Trace.
(E, page 596) James Anderson, in the same case, same place,
same date, before the same Commissioners.
In an early date, or before the year 17 86, he thinks, he was at
this spring, and saw the walnut tree described by Joseph Kennedy,
marked J. K., not exceeding 10, 15 or 20 yards from the head oi
the spring, and the bottom above and below said spring was cany.
I knew the long branch and it runs into the creek about % mile
above the place on the west side of the creek. I was acquainted
with the trace that crossed here called by some Boone's and by some
Logan's as early as 1779, and heard of the trace that crossed Silver
Creek at the Bull Lick near where William Dryden built a mill, now
owned by James McCormack, called Logan's Trace.
(E, page 596) Ambrose Ross, on the same occasion, before the
same Commissioners.
Some time in the year 1780 Samuel Bell and myself were about
on this side of Silver Creek a hunting, and steering through to the
creek came to this spring. Samuel Bell being on the speculative
line, made marks upon the bank about the head of the said sprin.f?.
The creek was so high we could not cross conveniently. We went
up the creek and crossed. When I went to Kennedy's Station and
was telling John Kennedy what a fine spring I had seen on Silver
Creek, and gave Kennedy direction and description of the place,
and the same year I was at the same spring and saw the first two
letters of John Kennedy's name upon an elm or walnut. The back
water of the creek came up that near the head of the spring that
we had to go round the head of the spring as it was very cany, and
we could not see ten yards through the cane. It appeared from th*^
(3)

water and cane we had no chance of crossing. Ques. by Bogie. The
spring that you were at and are now describing, is this the same
spring that we are now at, that is now before my doors? Ans. Yes.
I considered the spring to be in the banlv of the creek from the
appearance it then had.

in the deposition before James McCormack and William Bryant,
Commissioners.
The Deposition of William Cradlebough, taken at the Rock Back
Encampment the second Monday in August, on the Middle Foriv
of Kentucky, 1805.
William Cradlebough, in company with Thomas Brooks and John
Calloway, camped at this place in the year 17 80, in November or
December, for several days and made a canoe at this place, which
stump is now here, and on this beech is my letters thus W. C. 1780,
which 1 then cut; also letters thus J. C. which John Calloway cut.
This place is on the south side of the said Middle Fork, and nearly
opposite where McWillard now lives, and I this day marked my
letters on the same beech tree thus W. C. B. I never heard any
other place called Rock Back Encampment. Thomas Brooks has
often told me in his life time we were here together was the only
time he was up here on the Middle Fork of Kentucky. The tree
that stands about 4 miles above this place on the south side of this
river at a buffalo lick, on a branch near the mouth marked thus
T. Brooks, 1780, appears like Thomas Brooks' letters, and I do
verily believe the letters were cut by him, and on the same beech
tree letters cut thus J. C, which I take to be John Calloway's let-
ters. I do not remember of seeing them cut the letters, but we
were all about there often. The bottom which is about 4 miles
above Williams Creek, being on the Middle Fork of Kentucky, he
takes to be the same bottom where he. Brooks and Calloway did
encamp and cut down several trees in the same year, but as the
timber was young and not lasting wood, I cannot see my signs now,
but the course of the river and the looks of the bottom looks so
much like the bottom I do believe it to be the same bottom, which
at the lower end of said bottom there is corner trees marked as
corner trees, towit: three lynns, elm, beech and buckeye. I have
here cut my letters thus W. C. B. And the deponent being on Cabin
Creek, now called the Upper Twins, saith, that the creek was called
in those days when T. Brooks and Calloway and himself was here
Williams Creek, because he said deponent first found it when hunt-
ing, and that himself and Brooks and Calloway did build a cabin
at this place, which is now called the Lower Twins, but called and
known by us Cabin Creek. The cabin is rotten, but sign is in an
oak tree and beech where we cut out cutlets and we cut our first
letters of our names which is now here present, which place is
about % of a mile up said creek from the mouth vv'hich place I am
confident to be the place.
Signed. WILLIAM CRADLEBOUGH.
This is to certify that agreeable to a commission from Madison
Circuit Court we met at the Rock Back Encampment on the Middle
Fork of Kentucky and swore William Cradlebough, to witness such
things as he knew concerning several Encampments and marked
trees, and we marked our letters and our names at the said Rock
Back and adjourned to the tree marked T. Brooks, and the bottom
where it was said to be trees fell, and to the Twins as is now

callsd Cabin Creek and Williams Creek, and cut our letters of our
narnes at the different places and did everything to the best of our
knowledge according to law. JAMES McCORMICK,

Deposition of James McCormick, taken on the Middle Fork of
the Kentucky River. In the fall of 179 8 James Trabue applied to
me to survey for him on the Middle Fork of the Kentucky and fur-
nished me with several entries. One calling for a buffalo lick at
the mouth of the small creek on the north side, with a tree marked
thus T. Brooks, 17 8 0, which tree and lick I seen the same fall and
the marks that was on the tree appeared to be very old, or old
enough to have been marked at the same date. There was several
entries that called for another encampment called the Rock Back
Encampment, which by the direction of William Cradlebough I
found at the same time with W. C. 1780 and I. C. 17 80 cut on a
small beech tree, which mark also appears to be old enough for
that date, which rock and tree William Cradlebough this day swore
in my presence. Also the bottom I surveyed for David Trabue,
with the trees fell down, was so well described by William Cradle-
bough and the course of the river that I verily believe it to be the
same bottom. Notwithstanding the trees is rotted and gone and
being present with him in search of the bottom.

to John Mounce on Hay's Fork (made in 1779), Sept. 2, 1806, be-
fore William Miller and Richard Calloway, Commissioners of the
Court.
I think it was in the year 1779, and in the month of May, and
Hugh Seper was in company with me, when I made this improve-
ment. In the month of June following I was here with John Mounce,
Yelverton Peyton and David Miller. I gave it to John Mounce. I
think he did mark some trees or sapplings. This is the same im-
provement I made for Black and afterwards gave to Mounce. It
is about 25 or 30 steps from the mouth of the branch that we went
up on our route to Boonesborough. I think there is appearance of
the old improvement upon two trees. It is about ^4 mile below the
Mounce improvement or Mounce's Fork below here. This is about
% mile from Kincaid. John Kincaid's improvement was in a good
smart bend in the creek in a flat bottom near the creek. The
branch was the conditional line between Mounce's and Kincaid's.
They both marked the two first letters of their names there.
Mounce's was to run up the creek and Kincaid's down for quantity.
I was with Mounce when he laid in his claim and obtained a certifi-
cate. I think the land he intended to hold was from Mot'.vj^^'y
Fork up the creek. I should think this place from tho intersection
of the two forks was so remarkable that ^ nian who was formerly
acquainted with it might know it again. The branch that mouths
in just above this improvemerxt and comes down through John Kin-
caid's improvement or plantation is the branch that we went up
on our way to Boonesb,orough.

the Indians at the time they (the Bantas) brought their tools, etc.
I came to Kentucky in April, 1779, and moved my family out that
fall to Boonesborough, and lived at McGee's Station in the years
1780 and 1781. (He speaks of Viney Fork, Bald Hills and Bald
Knobs, etc.) In the year 1779, about April 13, I came to this coun-

their names. Blue Lick Knob, Joe's Lick Knob, and the Red
Lick Knobs.

an early period. Cassart was killed at Boonesborough on an early
date Thirty-three vears ago I came to Kentucky, in the year 17 (b,
and landed at the town called Lee's Town, on the Keiitucky; from
ihence Major Crittenden & Co. went near the head of Willis Lee s
Run waters of Elkhorn, and now known by Crittenden s Camp.
There we cleared a piece of ground and planted corn in the same
year 177 6, and in the fall of 177 6 Major Crittenden & Co. went up
the Ohio and I went to Harrodsburg, and there I continued part
of that fall and the greater part of the winter; and report came
that Colonel Boone was taken, from the Lower Blue Licks to Lo-
gan's Station, and to Harrodsburg the report came; and one Richard
May raised a company to go to the Lower Blue Licks to see what
was done I was one of the company with Richard May. Some time
in February, 17 7 7, we arrived at Boonesborough, and there I con-
tinued till i7 85 or 1786, and moved then out of Boonesborough into
Bush's Settlement; stayed there a year or two; from that there
were two of the Martin's built a mill on Lower Howard's Creek and
there I attended that mill going upon two years, and then Colonel
Solder bought her, and after he bought her I attended her near
two years, and from that I moved up to the head of Spencer Creek,
near old Nicholas Anderson's, and from that to State Creek, where
I now live, near Myer's Mill. I knew no fields in 1781. I knowed
Banta's Improvement. It was up here above the mouth of Deban s
Run on the bank of Muddy Creek, and the Improvement where Peter
Duree John Bullock and John Bullock's wife were killed, on the
branches of Muddy Creek. Ques. by Green Clay. When you came
over the high seas were you sold in America as a servant ? Who did
you serve your time with? and who is there in this country that
knew you in your servitude? Ans. Yes, I was sold as a servant.
I served my time with John Huff, and I don't know that there is
any person in this country that knew me in my servitude. (It was
proved that he was sold for passage fare over the sea.)

Article 4 — A Brief History of Albemarle rour.ty; Virginia, which
Furnished many of the Fa,iiy Settlers of Kentucky.
(The facts given in this a.rncle are taken, by his permission, almost
entirely from Rev. Edgar Woods' History of Albemarle. )
In the early i;olonial days of Virginia, settlements commenced
principally on the water courses, stretching along the fertile bottoms
of the James River and the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, and the
tributaries thereto. After the landing at Jamestown it was more
than a century before white men passed the Blue Ridge to make
settlements, and when the hardy, restless first settlers did cross over,
38 Histori/ and Genealogies \
and the news went abroad, a rapid stream came and the tide of vov-
ulation in the succeeding twenty years spread to the interior i?*^^"
tions of the colony — one stream flowing westward from the s^^'
coast and another up the Shenandoah Valley from the wildernfi^^^
of Pennsylvania, which was urged on by the rage and boom of spec'"
ulators.
The county of Goochland was formed in 1727, some ten years
or more after Gov. George Spotswood's expedition to the Blue Ridge,
and the first settlements included in the present bounds of Albe-
marle were then parts of Goochland and Hanover. These settle-
ments extended along up the South Anne, the James, the Rivanna,
and the Hardware, meeting others coming from the foot of the
Blue Ridge made by immigrants who had come up the valley and
crossed the mountain at Woods' Gap (where Michael Woods set-
tled). The first land patents were taken out June 16, 1727, by
George Hoomes (Hume) on the far side of the mountain called
Chestnut, 3,100 acres, and Nicholas Merewether, 13,762 acres at
the first ledge of mountains called Chestnut, including the present
seat of Castle Hill. These were the first grants of the virgin soil
within the present bounds of Albemarle, located in the line of the
South Anne River, up which the population had been slowly creep-
ing and increasing for a number of years. It was nearly two years
later before the next patents were issued to lands on the James
River. In 1730 a numlaer were issued on the James and both sides
of the Rockfish, on the Rivanna at its forks and up the north fork,
on both sides of the Hardware, on the Great Mountain and the
Hardware, in the forks of the James, called to this day Carter's
Mountain, and on the branches of the Hardware, Rockfish and other
creeks flowing into the James, and over the South West Mountain
on Turkey Run. In 1731 patents were issued on the Rivanna, at
the mouth of Buck Isiand Creek, on the west side of Carter's Moun-
tain, on the back side of Chestnut Mountain, and along the Rivanna
within the present limits of Fluvanna. In 1732 there were eight
grants confined to the James and the western base of the South
West Mountain, and four patents in 173 3, none reaching farther
west than the west bank of the Rivanna under the shadow of the
South West Mountain, and thirteen grants in 173 4, located mainly
near the bases of the South West Mountain on the Rivanna and
Mechunk. After this time there was a more rapid settlement of
the county of Albemarle. In 173 5 the number of patents were
twenty-nine, the population was yet sparse. The whole Peidmont
Region and the fertile valley were simultaneously opened and strong
inducements held out to settlers and patents were taken out this
year on the Green in the southern part, on the south fork of the
Hardware near the cove, on the south fork of the Rivanna, on
"l^leadow Creek, Icy Creek, Priddys and Buck Mountain Creeks; in
the north orr-Nated, Fishing, Mountain Falls, Piney Mountain and
Meadow Creeks, and in 17S-6 on the north fork of the Hardware
in North Garden. In 1737, nineteen iiatents: among the patentees —
Michael Woods, his son Archibald and liis son-in-law William Wal-
lace, more than 1,300 acres on Licking Hole, Mechum's River and
Beaver Creek, embracing Blair Park and the pr<^=ent Mechum's De-
pot, and the same day Michael Woods purchased the 2,000 acre pat-
ent of Charles Hudson on Ivy Creek. These transactions took place
at Goochland Court House and Williamsburg. It is believed that
Michael Woods and his families were the first settlers in Western
Albemarle, and perhaps anywhere along the east foot of the Blue

Ridge in Virginia. The first patent to lands on Moorman's River
was in 1739, on the North Fork, to David Mills, 2,850 acres.
Albemarle County was established in 17 44 by legislative enact-
ment, its existence to begin the first of January, 17 45; the reasons ^
assigned for its formation was the divers inconveniences attending
the upper inhabitants of Goochland on account of their great dis-
tance from the Court House and other places usually appointed for
public meetings; the dividing lines were to run from the point of
Fork of the James River (the mouth of the Rivanna, where Co-
lumbia now stands) N. 30 degrees E. to the Louisa line, and from
the same point a direct course to Brooks' Mill; thence the same
course to Appomattox River, which embraced the county of Buck-
ingham, parts of Appomattox and Campbell and the counties of Am-
herst, Nelson and Fuvanna — the Blue Ridge being the western line,
that portion of the present county of Albemarle north of a line run-
ning past the mouth of Iva Creek, with the course N 65 degrees W,
remained in Louisa for sixteen years longer.
Albemarle was named in commemoration of the Governor Gen-
eral of the Colony, William Anne Keppel, second Earl of Albemarle.
The organization took place the fourth Thursday of February, 17 45,
probablv on the plantation of Mrs. Scott, near the present Scotts-
ville, where the next court was ordered to be held; the commissioned
Justices of the Peace present were Joshua Fry, Peter Jefferson, Allen
Howard, William Cabell, Joseph Thompson, and Thomas Ballew.
Howard and Cabell administered to Fry and Jefferson the oaths of
a Justice of the Peace and of a Judge of a Court of Chancery, the
Abjuration oath — renouncing allegiance to the House of Stewart,
and the Test oath — affirming and receiving of the sacrament ac-
cording to the Rite of the Church of England. Thereupon Fry and
Jefferson administered the same oaths to the other commissioned
Justices; the court was then held. William Randolph, by commis-
sion of Thomas Nelson, secretary of the council, was appointed
Clerk; Joseph Thompson, Sheriff; Joshua Fry, Surveyor; Edmund
Craig, King's Attorney by commission of William Gooch, Governor
of the Colony, and all were duly qualified and took the oaths. The
following May Benjamin Harris was sworn in as Deputy Clerk, John
Harris, Constable. Andrew Wallace was appointed Surveyor for the
opening of the road from the Davis Stockton Ferry to Mechum's
River Ford and Archibald and Michael Woods, Jr., to assist in
clearing it.
William Harris petitioned for a road from his plantation on
Green Creek to the South River, that is the James, on the lower side
of Ballinger's Creek. And Robert Rose, Clerk, petitioned for one
from his place on Tye River to Leakes, in the neighborhood of Wil-
liam Harris. The hands of William Harris and others were ordered
to clear a road from the Green Mountain road, near the head of Hog
Creek, to the Court House road, below the Stith's Quarter.
The Browns of Brown's Cove, for whom the cove was named,
began to obtain grants in Albemarle soon after its formation. They
had, also, patented large areas of land in Louisa, both before and
after its establishment in 1742. Benjamin Brown and his eldest
sou, Beniamin, from 1747 to 1760, entered more than 6,000 acres
on both sides of Doyle's River, in Albemarle County. Benjamin
Brown devised to his son, Bezaleel Brown, the Bear cornfield. In
a deed of 1789, conveying land north of Stony point, one of the lines
passed by "the Bear Spring on the road."
The Brown family, from their early settlement, their prominent
part in public affairs, the high character generally prevalent among
-to Historj/ aiuJ Genealogies
them, and the lasting impress they have made on the natural scenery
of the county, is one of the most noted in its history. In 1805
William Jarman and Brightberry Brown undertook the construction
of Brown's Turnpike, beginning at a point called Camping Reck,
crossing the ridge at Brown's Gap, descending through Brown's
Cove and terminating at Mechum's Depot. In 1819 James Jarmat,
eldest son of William Jarman, and Sarah Maupin, his wife, sold
his share of the turnpike to Ira Harris.
In 1761 the territory on the south side of the James River was
cut off to form the county of Buckingham. North of the James
River and west of the Rockfish, from its mouth up to the mouth of
the Green, thence west of line running directly to the house of
Thomas Bell, continuing to the Blue Ridge, constituted the county
of Amherst, and there was added to Albemarle the part of Louisa
west of a line beginning at the boundary between Albemarle and
Louisa on the ridge between Mechunk and Beaver Dam Swamp, and
running along the ridge intersecting east course line from the
Widow Cobb's plantation, thence a direct course to the Orange line
opposite the plantaion of Ambrose Coleman. These changes left
the Court House on the extreme s-outhern border, very inconvenient
to the people of the northern section, and a new site was fixed on
land purchased of Col. Richard Randolph, of Henrico, 1,000 acres,
the town called and known as Charlottesville, established in 1762,
named in honor of Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg Strelitz, who
had recently become Queen of England, as the wife of George III.
It occupied almost the exact center of the county, in a fertile coun-
try, and a beautiful situation; a more suitable location could not
have been chosen. The first sale of lots was in September, 1763,
when fourteen lots were sold to seven purchasers; the next sale was
in October, 1765, when twenty-three lots were disposed of, fourteen
of which were at once purchased by Benj. Brown and David Ross.
Near the close of the Revolutionary War a great misfortune be-
fell the country in the loss of the early records of the county by
the wanton ravages of the British troops under Tarlton, causing a
break in the records from 1748 to 1783, covering a most interesting
period in the history of the county, which affects not only the coun-
ty of Albemarle, but the whole country; and in 179 4 a commission
was appointed by the court to reinstate the lost or destroyed records.
The transactions of the Commissioners were ordere ^ to be recorded,
but the result was far from making good the loss.
Tarlton's raid took place in June, 1781. The British com-
mander, with two hundred and fifty horses, was passing Louisa at
a rapid rate when espied by John Jouett, a temporary sojourner
there, suspecting their object, he leaped on his horse and being
faniilisr V/ith the roads, he took the shortest cuts and soon left the
enemy behind. Tarlton's detention at Castle Hill for breakfast
was also advantageous, and meeting an acquaintance at Milton,
Jouett dispatched him to Montkello to warn Mr. Jefferson, then
Governor of the State, while he pressed on to Charlottesville to
give the alarm, and the Legislature, whibk had just convened, was
notified in time to adjourn and make a hurried retreat to "^tauntor.-
In a short while Tarlton and his troops entered the town"; though
disappointed, they remained a part of two days, and it is said de-
stroyed 1,000 fire locks, 400 barrels of powder and a considerable
quantity of clothing and tobacco; but the greatest loss, as well as
the most useless waste, was the destruction of the public records.
In the diary of Thomas Lewis, 1746, he describes his journey
to Orange County to join the surveyors to run the line between
k
Jlisfori/ (tud Gcnraloi/ics 41
the Ncrthern Neck and the rest of the colony, wherein he states
that he crossed from Augusta at Woods' Gap and stopped with
Michael Woods both on his departure and return.
As late as near the close of the Revolution, when Rockfish Gap
was much used, the prisoners of the convention army were taken
across the Blue Ridge at Woods' Gap. The Three Notched Road
was the dividing line between the parishes of Fredericksville and
St. Anne's.
The globe of St. Anne's was bought of William Harris in 1751
by Sam'l Jordon and Patrick Napier, church wardens of the parish.
The first Baptist Church of the county was organized in .January,
1773, in Lewis Meeting House, which stood on old David Lewis'
place, on the elevated ground south of the Staunton road, with a
membership of forty-eight. It was several years without a pastor,
but ;yas occasionally supplied by such ministers as John Waller,
Elijah Craig' and Lewis Craig. It was variously called "Albemarle,"
"Buck Mountain" and "Chestnut Grove." Andrew Tribble was
chosen her pastor in 1777 and was ordained by Elder Lewis Craig
and others. He purchased a farm of one hundred and seventy-five
acres a short distance below the D. S. Tavern, which he sold in
1785. He performed his pastoral duties till the time that he emi-
grated to Madison County, Kentucky, in about 1783. He became a
noted pioneer preacher in Madison and adjoining counties of Ken-
tucky. He preached to Howard's Creek (Providence) Church, in
Clark County, during the great spiritual two years' revival which
commenced there shortly after the church had been organized and
the church house erected, in 1787, and was minister to Dreaming
Creek (Mt. Nebo), Tates Creek and other churches in Madison
county.
William Woods, distinguished as "Baptist Billy," was ordained
a minister of the Gospel at Lewis Meeting House in 1780, by Elders
Andrew Tribble and Benjamin Burgher, and became the pastor after
the work of Elder Tribble ceased.
One hundred and forty pounds of tobacco were allowed for the
scalp of an old wolf, and when tobacco ceased to be a medium of
exchange, $6 and $12 were given as premiums, and scalps were
reported in large numbers and continued for many subsequent years.
The last on record, Isaac W. Garth was awarded $12 for killing an
old wolf. The names appearing most frequently in this connection
were Jonathan Barksdale, Samuel Jameson, William Ramsay and
Ryland Rodes.
White Hall was an election precinct which went under the suc-
cessive names of "Glenn's Store," "William Maupin's Store," "Mau-
pin's Tavern," "Miller's Tavern," and "Shumate's Tavern," till given
its present name about 1835.
The present location of the Barrack's Road, immediately west
of Charlottesville, was fixed about the beginning of the 18th century.
A contention respecting it arose between Isaac Miller and John Carr,
Clerk of the District Court, owners of the adjoining lands. After
several views and reports it was finally determined according to
Mr. Miller's ideas, whose residence at the time was at Rose Valley,
near the house of Mason Gordon.
Miller's School House stood on Mechum's River in 1781.
In 1803 Isaac Miller was one of the Commissioners appointed
to draw up a plan for a new Court House and to solicit bids for
its erection.
ITnder General Orders from England Lord Dunmore had, on the
night of April 20, 1775, clandestinely removed from the magazine
4r2 Flisfoii/ nnd Genealogies
in Williamsburg all the powder of the colony. The alarm spread
rapidly throughout the province and the people flew to arms. Seven
hundred men assembled at Fredericksburg, but receiving assurance
that the powder would be restored were disbanded. And the people
of Albemarle County were not slow, but promptly acted and on
the 2nd of May, 1775, eighteen volunteers, under Captain Charles
Lewis, marched to Williamsburg to demand of Lord Dunmore satis-
faction; and shortly after their return twenty-seven volunteers,
under Lieutenant George Gilmer, 11th July, 1775, marched to Wil-
liamsburg on a similar mission.
Theodoric Bland, who was fourth in descent from Pocahontas
through his grandmother, Jane Rolfe, at the outbreak of the Revo-
lution enlisted in the contest and bore an active part throughout
the war. He was one of a score of men who removed from Lord
Dunmore's palace the arms and ammunition which that nobleman
had abstracted from the public arsenal. Soon after, Bland published
a series of bitterly indignant letters against the Governor under the
signature of "Cassius." He was made Captain of the first troop of
Virginia cavalry, but when six companies had been enrolled he be-
came Lieutenant Colonel, with which rank he joined the main army
in 1777. He was a citizen of Prince George Countv, but died in
New York in 1790.
In 1818 William Harris and Henry T. Harris were Commission-
ers of Education.
In 182 8 Dr. Harris was agent for the Albemarle Bible Society.
Soldiers of Albemarle, the 1st Virginia, were in the battles of
Brandywine, Germantown, Guilford Court House, Xinety-six and
Eutah Springs. The 14th Virginia, under Col. Charles Lewis, was
in the battles of Long Bridge, King's Mountain, Xinety-.six, Brandy-
wine, Germantown and Monmouth. The 10th Virginia was in the
battles of Guilford Court House, Eutah Springs and Yorktown.
The statute guaranteeing religious freedom having been enacted,
the old law requiring all marriages to be solemnized by ministers
of the established church was abolished and the courts authorized
to license ministers of all denominations to perform the marriage
ceremony. Under the new law Williani^ Irvine, a Presbyterian min- ^
ister, was licensed in 1784; Matthew Maury, Episcopalian, William ^
Woods, Benjamin Burgher, and Martin Dawson, Baptists, in 1785.
The first Methodist minister receiving such license was Athanasias
Thomas, who lived near the present site of Crozet, in 1793.
The convention which met July 17, 1775, following the second
march to Williamsburg, to provide for soldiers, etc., formed sixteen
districts in the colony. Albemarle was placed in the district with
Buckingham, Amherst and East Augusta. The committee of this
district met Sept. 8, 1775, at the house of James Wijjods, in Am- ^
herst; present from Albemarle, Charles Lewis and George Gilmer;
from Amherst, William Cabell, John and Hugh Rose; from Buck-
ingham, John Nicholas, Charles Patterson and John Cabell; and
from Augusta, Sampson Matthews, Alexander McClannahan, and
Samuel McDowell. Thomas Jefferson was the other delegate from
Albemarle, but was absent attending the Continental Congress, of
which he had been appointed a member the previous June. — History

Article 4 — A Brief History of Culpeper County, Virginia, whence
Came Some of Our Ancestors. The Old Home of Kavanaugh,
Duncan, BroA%^ling, Yancey, Covington, Phelps, Deatherage, etc.
The territory of Culpeper originally embraced what is now Cul-
peper, Madison and Rappahannock, and was the subject matter of
a protracted controversy, involving the title to several million acres
of land. All the land within the heads of Tappahannock (or Rap-
pahannock) and Quivough (or Potomac), the courses of those rivers
and the bay of Chesapayoak, etc., was granted at different times
by King Charles I and II to Lord Hopton, the Earl of St. Albans,
and others, and subsequently by King James to Lord Culpeper, who
iad purchased the rights of the other parties. Thomas the Fifth
Lora -'~''">fax, had married Catherine, the daughter of Lord Cul-
peper, and DeCOrne the proprietor of this princely domain, commonly
known as the Xoriliern Neck. In 1705 Gov. Nott, of Virginia, in
the name of the King, granted 1,920 acres of land to Henry Bev-
erley, in the forks of the X. ia'id S. branches of the Rappahannock.
Robert Carter, known as King C'.>L".ter, Fairfax's agent, objected to
the grant as being within the limits'' '■>'>f Lord Fairfax's grant. Vir-
ginia's Governor and Council appointed Commissioners to meet
Fairfax's commissioners and survey the rivers and report whether
the south (the Ripidan) or the north branch of the Rappahannock
was the chief stream. In 17 06 the commissioners jointly reported
that the streams seemed to be of equal magnitude.
In 173 3 Fairfax complained to the King that patents had been
granted in the name of the Crown in the disputed territory. Other
commissioners were appointed by the Governor and Council of Vir-
ginia, and for Fairfax, to survey and measure the S. branch (the
Rapidan) from the fork to the head spring and return an exact
map of same, and describe all the tributaries. The Kings commis-
sioners met at Williamsburg Aug. 3, 1736. The commissioners of
the Crown and of Fairfax made their report Dec. 14, 1736, to the
Council for plantation affairs: Lord Fairfax took the report of his
commissioners to England and had the matter referred to the Lords
of Trade, to report all the facts and their opinion to the Lords of
the Committee of Council. The Council for Plantation affairs, the
6th of April, 1745, confirmed the report, and afterwards by the
Lords and the King, who ordered the appointment of commissioners
to run and mark the dividing line. This was done in 1746, and made
the branch of the Rapid Anne, called the Conway, the head stream
of the Rappahannock, and the southern boundary of the Northern
Neck — thus confirming to Lord Culpeper the original county of
Culpeper or to the proprietor of Lord Fairfax.
Fairfax was the first town, established by act of assembly in
1759, since changed to Culpeper.
Culpeper was named in honor of Thomas Lord Culpeper, Gov-
ernor of Virginia 1680-3, was formed in 17 4S from Orange County
— Orange was taken from Spotsylvania, which had been cut from
Essex.
On October 21, 17 65, the sixteen Justices of the Peace for Cul-
peper County drew up and signed a protest to Gov. Fanquier against
the imposition of the stamp act, emphasizing their protest by re-
signing their commissions, and same was recorded in Deed Book
E, page 138, by Roger Dixon, the first Clerk of the Court of the
County.

History and Genealogies
The present limits of tlie county comprise an average length of
twenty miles, with a breadth of about eighteen miles, drained by
the Rappahannock and its branches along the northeast and the
Rapid Anne and its branches along the southeast and southwest
boundaries. The Great Southern Railway runs through the county.
Culpeper minute men distinguished themselves in the Revolu-
tion. The brilliant John Randolph, of Roanoke, in the U. S. Senate,
said: "They were raised in a minute, armed in a minute, marched
in a minute, fought in a minute, and vanquished in a minute."
The earliest County Court held for Culpeper, as shown by the
Deed Book (the first Minute Book having been lost) was 18th of
May, 1749.
Brandy Station was the great battle ground between the cavalry
of the armies of Northern Virginia and of the Potomac during the
war between the States. It was the scene of quite a number .qJ
pitched battles, in which thousands of cavalrymen met '" aeadly
conflict.
Other engagements in the county were the bajttie of Cedar Run
and minor ones, the battles of near Culpeper- C. H., July 12, 1862;
Brandy Station, Aug. 20, 1862; Kell'^. s Ford, Aug. 2l', 1862, and
March 17, 1863; Rappahannock's- -^.aiion, Kelley's Ford and Brandy
Station, Aug. 1-3, 1863, and ^:.iiey's Ford, Nov. 7, 1863.

Hist or 1/ and Genealogies
Article 8 — Items Connecting the Miller Name with Events.
The histories of our country give many interesting accounts of
the pioneer periods of Kentucky, and in many of the events of that
period the Miller name was represented, and took active part, and
the old archives of the State and Counties thereof show the part
they played in the formation and development of our country, and
the making of the laws and societies of same.
Here follows some little history with which the name, Miller,
is connected, that will be interesting to many, and shows — to some
extent — the important events in which the Millers took part.
(From Collins' and other histories and Court Records)
THE MILLER COMPANY.
Section 1. In the spring of 17 75, William Miller, John Miller,
and twelve other gentlemen came in canoes down the Ohio River,
and up the Licking to the Lower Blue Licks, where they were
joined by Hinkson's company. Each party sent out men who ex-
plored and examined the country, and reported at the Blue Licks.
From whence they traveled the Main Buffalo Trace towards the point
where the City of Lexington now is, till reaching a trace turning
West, where the Hinkson Company departed. The Miller party
camped on Miller's Run at the crossing of the Lower Limestone,
or Ruddell's Road, and went over the country and selected lands
for the improvement, and divided same by lot. (Collin's Ky. Hist.)
JOHN MILLER.
Section 2. In 1784, John Miller settled about one mile from
Hinkson Creek, towards Blue Lick, and one mile North-east of
what is now Millersburg — then known as Miller's Station. Millers-
burg was established in 1817, and named for this John Miller.
The Millersburg Seminary was established there in 1852, by
Rev. John Miller, M. D. (Collins' Ky. Hist.)
COL. JOHN MILLER.
Section 3. In the fall of 1784 Col. John Miller left his home and
friends in Albemarle and came to Kentucky, at that time a part of
Virginia, and settled in the cane on the head waters of Otter Creek,
in Madison county, the very spot where the city of Richmond is,
and acquired property there, which he improved, building the first
house at the place. He was among the first magistrates of the
county by commission from His Excellency, Patrick Henry. Governor
of Virginia. The town of Richmond was laid off "beginning at"
John Miller's fodder house, and the Legislature authorizing the re-
moval of the county seat from Milford to Richmond, directed the
Court to adjourn to "John Miller's barn."
COL. NICHOLIS MILLER.
Section 4. In Hardin County, Col. Nicholis Miller, Dan Ver-
trees and others, went one day in pursuit of a maurading band of
Indians, came suddenly upon them when a desperate fight ensued.
At the first shot Vertrees fell, another was siezed by a powerful
savage, who wrenched the gun from his hands, and was in the act
52 Histonj and Genealogies
of tomyhawking him, when Miller quickly killed the Indian, causing
the other marauders to flee in confusion. (Collins' Ky. Hist.)
HENRY MILLER AND CHRISTOPHER MILLER
Section 5. History relates that in June, 179 4, from his head-
quarters at Fort Greenville, Ohio, General Wayne (Mad Anthony)
dispatched a company of his men, among whom was one Henry
Miller, with orders to bring into camp an Indian as a prisoner to
be questioned as to the enemy's intention. Henry Miller had been
raised among the Indians, having been captured in his youth, with
his younger brother, Christopher Miller, and adopted into their
tribe^ — ^the younger brother still remained with the savages. Press-
ing on cautiously into the Indian country they finally found a camp
on the Anglaize River of three Indians — situated on a high, open
piece of ground — the only shelter near was a large newly fallen
tree, the top thereof full of leaves — going round to the rear of the
camp, they went on their all fours, sheltered by the tree top, to
within about sixty yards of the camp. The Indians were busy cook-
ing meat, making merry antics, and having a big time, unaware
of danger. One of the white party, a perfect athlete, was to cap-
ture one Indian, while Miller and another comrade were to manage
the other two. Two of the Indians being quickly slain, the other
Indian fled down the river bank, turned suddenly and sprang off the
bluff into the water to cross. The river bottom was of soft mud,
and the Indian sank down half way up his body; before he could
get out one of the men (McClellan) was upon him threatening to
kill him unless he threw up his hands and surrendered, and he did
surrender. After washing the mud and paint off of him he was
found to be a white man. He refused to speak or give an account
of himself. He was tied on a horse and the party, with their pris-
oner, set out for headquarters, Henry Miller riding along by his
side, and in the Indian language tried to engage him in conversa-
tion. At length it flashed across Henry Miller's mind that he
might be his long lost brother, and he called him by his brother's
Indian name, which surprised the prisoner, and with an eager look
he asked how he knew his name — the mystery was then and there
solved — they were brothers. Providence had spared him, while his
savage companions were slain. Arriving at the fort, the prisoner
was put in the guard-house, refusing to give up his Indian habits —
in taste and manners he was an Indian. Days weu,t by before he
quit his sulkiness and reserve and talked with any freedom. At
last, on promise of release, he agreed to give up his savage life
and join Wayne's army. He kept his faith, and became as trusty
as his brother Henry in his new relation of life. (Collins Ky. His.)
CHRISTOPHER MILLER, OF HARDIN COUNTY.
Section 6. He was taken prisoner by the Indians in 1783,
when about fifteen years of age, and remained a prisoner among
them (an Indian by adoption and mode of life) for eleven years.
In 1794, he was taken from them as narrated in Section 5, and
immediately entered into the service under General Wayne, going
into the environs of the Indian towns, taking prisoners from them
and bringing them to his general. It became necessary to send an-
other flag of peace to the enemy — several having been sent and
none returned. The eyes of the officers were centered on Miller.
He was approached by General Wayne and given the assurance that
Histori/ and Genealogies 53
if he would undertake the task, and should succeed, he should re-
ceive from the government an independent fortune. The arrange-
ment was made and Miller as ambassador set out on his perilous
mission — anxious eyes followed him. but with scarcely a gleam of
hope that he would ever return.
Two years before Col. Hardin and Maj. Truman had gone on a
similar errand of peace, but never returned, their lives paying the
forfeit of a misplaced confidence. But Miller performed his under-
taking— effected the object of his mission and returned safely.
Peace was concluded. Time went on, General Wayne died, and
Miller was forgotten. Once he applied to Congress, but for want
of sufficient proof of his extraordinary service Congress made him
no allowance.
On January 13, 1S19, a quarter of a century after the service
had been rendered and when he (Miller) was the acting representa-
tive from Hardin County, the Legislature of Kentucky unanimously
adopted a resolution setting forth the facts as herein related, as
within the personal knowledge of several members of that body,
and appealing to Congress to make a liberal provision for Christo-
pher Miller, to whom they conceived the general government greatly
indebted, not only upon the principle of rewarding real merit, but
on the score of justice founded on a promise made by a man or the
part of the United States on whose assurance Miller had a right
to rely. (Collins.)
THE JOHN HIXKSOX AND THE JOHN MILLER COMPANIES.
Section 7. The first white men (according to history) known
to have navigated the Licking River for any distance were The
John Hinkson and The John Miller Companies, of fourteen men
each, hereinbefore mentioned in Section 1, who passed in canoes to
the Lower Blue Licks on Main Licking, and thence out into Bourbon
and Hardin Counties, to build cabins, make improvements and
pitch crops. (Collins.)
Section S. Samuel Freeman Miller (1816-1890) an American
jurist, born in Richmond, Madison county, Ky., in 1816, graduated
at the Medical Department of Transylvania University in 183 8, and
removed to Barboursville to practice his profession and read law
under Judge Ballinger and was a thorough emancipationist. He
removed to Iowa in 18.50, where he became conspicuotis as a jurist,
and was appointed Justice of the United States Supreme Court by
President Lincoln; his decisions gave him a National reputation and
he was especially noted for his opposition to the encroachments of
railroad corporations. He became a great historical character —
probably one of the ablest on the bench..
In 1877 he was a member of the Electoral Commission and in
1887 was the Orator of the Continental Constitution Celebration
held at Philadelphia.
He was, during his whole life, deeply interested about the moun-
tains of Kentucky. In his beginning as a lawyer, he, Richard H.
Menefee, Silas F. Woodson (afterwards Governor of Missouri,
1872-4), Judge Ballinger (afterwards a Federal Judge of Texas),
and many others, the most talented of the young men of the State,
and we might say of any other state, were members of a County
Debating Club, which convened weekly for the discussion of some
select subject, in which could be heard abler debates than in the
halls of Congress.

the Union — down through the years to this day the name has
furnished a representative from some section in the law-making de-
partment, as well as in various important offices created to carry
the laws into effect.
Section 10. Lieutenant William Miller. — But one instance is
found recorded in the pioneer period of Kentucky where the Miller
name has been reproached, and that in Estill's defeat at Little Moun-
tain, in which Lieutenant William Miller has been charged by some
writers or reporters with the cowardly act of ingloriously desert-
ing with his few men, thereby losing the day.
Such an act is not characteristic of the family, and if true, de-
served unreserved censure.
Miller and his men, six in all, under order had crossed the
creek and came in combat with the Indians, and two of his men
were killed and two others wounded before he retreated. Was this
cowardice? The remaining force, under Col. Eskill retreated im-
mediately after the death of Eskill and eight of his men.
One historian writes: "One-third on each side had fallen, and
the fire was still vivid and deadly as at the opening of the combat.
Ifistonj (ukI (jpnoalogirx 55
Estill, determined to bring it to a close, ordered Lieutenant Miller
to turn their flank with six men and attack them in the rear. While
Miller was makihg a small detour to the right for the purpose, most
probably of executing his orders in good faith (over unknown
ground — for there are various constructions placed upon his con-
duct) the Indian commander became aware of the division of his
adversary's force, and, with that rapid decision which so often
flashed across Napoleon's battle fields, and whether exibited upon
a great or small scale, mark the great commander — determined to
frustrate the plan by crossing the creek with his whole force and
overwhelming Estill, now weakened by the absence of Miller.
This bold thought was executed with determined courage, and after
a desperate struggle, Estill was totally overpowered and forced from
the ground with slaughter; himself and nearly all his officers were
killed, and it was but a poor consolation that an equal loss had
been inflicted on the enemy. (Collins.).
The view of the matter as expressed in the above quotation seems
to be the most reasonable and certainly the most charitable.
In executing such an order over unknown ground, it matters
not with how great diligence the subaltern was trying to carry it
out, under the strain and trying ordeals of the moment, a very
short time would seem to the commander and those with him as a
long while.
Had the Wyandotts been repulsed, under the circumstances as
they were at that time, would Miller have been censured? Cer-
tainly not. Nothing succeeds like success.
In the recent bloody slaughter of the Russians and Japanese in
which the great Russian leaders were out generaled in every en-
gagement, although bringing to bear their best endeavors, they did
not escape censure by the Russian Czar when they should have
been extolled, the Russian authorities thrusting the blame on faith-
ful under officers, who had exposed themselves and men to the
storms of battle, contagious disease and hardships indescribable.

in Union County, Indiana, July, 1831, died in Washington, D. C.
May 8, 1886. He was educated at the New York State Law School
in 1852, with the degree of L. B., and began the practice of law at
South Bend. The next year he went to California and th'=re prac-
ticed three years, when he returned to Indiana and resumed the
practice. He took an active part in the Freemont campaign in 1856.
He was a member of the State Senate at the outbreak of the Civil
War, and resigned to become Colonel on the staff of Governor Mor-
ton and was soon given the command of the 29th Indiana Volun-
teers. On reaching the field of action he was placed in command
of a brigade, serving almost from the beginning of hostilities in
the West, under Generals Sherman, Buell, Rosencrans and Thomas.
At the battle of Stone River he distinguished himself by charging at
the head of his brigade across the river and driving Breckinridge
from his position, receiving a bullet in his neck during the charge.
For his gallantry he was promoted to Brigadier General. In the
battle of Liberty Gap he made another charge with his brigade,
and at the moment of victory was stricken down by a second bullet
which entered his left eye, and lodged in the bone of the forehead.
Despite the constant pain he carried the bullet for twelve years,
various surgeons declining to a*^tempt its removal thorugh fear of
destroying the other eye, or of impairing his brain, but it was sub-
sequently extracted in 1875. He commanded the left division of
8000 men at the battle of Nashville, and was brevetted a Major
General for conspicuous bravery. At the close of the war he was
oitered a commission of high rank in the army, but declined it,
and returned to California to practice law. He was almost imme-
diately appointed Collector of the Port of San Francisco. After
serving four years declined a reappointment. He then abandoned
his profession and engaged in other business pursuits and became
President of the Alaska Commercial Company. He was a Repub-
lican candidate for Presidential Elector in 1872, 1876 and ISSO.
He was a member of the California Constitutional Convention in
1872. Was elected United States Senator January 12, 1881, and
took his seat the following March 4. On the organization of the
47th Congress, he was appointed a member of the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and on Naval Affairs, and in the 48th and 49th
Congresses, was Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations
and member of the Committee on Civil Service and Retrenchment.
Memorial addresses on the life and character of John Franklin
Miller (a Senator from California) were delivered in the Senate and
o8 Hisfori/ (iiuJ (jcncalogles
House of Representatives in tlae first session of the forty-nintli
Congress, May 28, and June 19, 1886, with funeral services at the
City of Washington March 13, 18 86, and at San Francisco, Cal.,
March 21, 18 86.
Mr. Stanford, of California, in his address stated that "General
Miller was descended from two of the most respected families of
Virginia, and was of Swiss-Scotch extraction, his progenitor on his
father's side having left Switzerland to find in America what was
denied him in the land of his birth — the freedom to worship God
in accordance with the dictates of his own conscience, while his
paternal grand-mother's family were from Scotland.
In the first decade of the present (19th) century, his grand-
father and father who were then located in Franklin County, Vir-
ginia, decided on leaving that State, and before doing so manumitted
their slaves. It may be easily supposed that the strong a":)iM-ecla-
tion of liberty and the rights of man posessed by John F. Miller
came to him as a natural heritage from a father and grand-father
whose sense of justice and liberty was so great as to impel them
to make a voluntary sacrifice at a time when slavery was by many
held to be lawful and right. Having started out from Virginia,
the first halting place of the Miller family was at a point in Ken-
tucky on the Ohio River, near Maysville, where after a short stay,
they built flat-boats upon which they floated down the Ohio to the
present site of Cincinnati. Subsequently the family home was
chosen in Union County, Indiana, near Indian Creek, in the great
Miami Valley. By a coincidence, the maternal branch of John F.
Miller's family was of the same name as the paternal. His mother's
father, John Miller, was a Colonel commanding volunteer forces in
Indiana and Ohio, during the war of 1812, and won an extensive
reputation for his successful warefare against the British and their
Indian allies. His father was a man of great force of character, a
natural leader, and exercised a wide and powerful influence in the
state of his adoption. Here in Union County, Indiana, a few miles
from Cincinnati, John F. Miller was born. A short time after his
birth the family removed to South Bend, where his early days were
passed.
Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who became a subordinate to John F.
Miller at a time when neither had received or witnessed the bap-
tism of blood, spoke knowingly and eloquently of General Miller's
war record, his unflinching" discharge of duty and yet always con-
siderate of the rights of men and that today his memory is green
among the men who loved the Union in Nashville, and he is held
in high regard among the people who at that time were the ene-
mies of the Union. Mr. Grosvenor testified of his own personal
regard for the memory of John F. Miller.
Mr. Stanford further said: "But Senator Miller manifested in
various ways, official and personal, his fidelity and consistency in
another sphere of life and duty. He adorned the doctrine of God
our Saviour in all things, and was a good soldier of Christ, and when
words were no more possible signified by gesture that his faith did
not fail or falter. General Miller's life was a success. The work
he undertook he did well, whether in camp, in commerce or in
Congress.. He gained commendation on every side and in every
path of duty in which he walked. Impartial history will delight
to place his name as a private and public citizen, high among those
who are worthy examples for their countrymen to admire and im-
itate."
General Miller r_:arried Miss Mary Chess, of Pennsylvania.

Two children were born of this marriage — a son and a daughter.
The son died in SanFrancisco in 187 8, at the age of seven years;
the daughter survives. (From Memorial Addresses on the Life
and Character of John Franklin Miller, in the U. S. Senate and

Section 21. James Miller, an American General, born in Perers-
borough, N. H., April 25, 1776, died in Temple, X. H., July 7, 1851.
He was educated in the law, but in 1808 he entered the Array as
Major. In May 1813, he participated in the capture of Fort George.
As Colonel of the 21st Infantry he fought with gallantry at Chip-
pewa and Lundys Lane. The success of the Americans in the
latter conflict was in the main due to the capture of a British
battery by his command.
In reply to General Scott's inquiry if he could take the bat-
tery, he said, "I'll try. Sir." For these services he was brevetted
Brigadier-General, and received from Congress a gold medal. He
was Governor of Arkansas Territory 1819 to 1825, and Collector
of Customs at Salem, Massachusetts from 1825 to 1849. (Apple-
ton's Cyclo. )

graduated as M. D. in the University of Pennsylvania.. In 179 6 he
removed to Xew York and with Doctors Mitchell and Smith com-
menced the publication of the "Medical Repository" the first Amer-
ican Medical Journal. In 1803 he was appointed resident physi-
cian of the City of Xew York. He was a member of the American
Philisophical Society. Professor of the Theory and Practice of
Physics in the College of Physicians and Surgeons and one of the
physicians of the Xew York Hospital. His "Report on the Yellow
Fever of Xew York in 1805," is the source from which most later
authors have drawn their arguments in support of the non-conta-
geous nature of yellow fever. His writings with a biographical
sketch were published by his brother, the Rev. Samuel Miller. (Id.)
Section 2 4. Hugh Miller, a British Geologist, born a' Cromarty
on the East coast of Scotland, October 10, 1802, died at Portabello,
near Edinburg, December 26, 1856. He belonged to that half
Scandanavian population inhabiting the shores of the German ocean
from Fife to Caithness. On his father's side he was fourth in de-
scent in a line of eailors from John Feddis, one of the last of the
buchaneers on the Spanish Main, who returned to Cromarty to enjoy
his money, and built "the long low house" in which his distin-
guished great grand son passed his youth. On his mother's side he
was of Highland blood, and fifth in descent from Donald Roy of
Ross-shire, famed for his piety and his second eye sight. His father
was drowned in a tempest in 1807, a fate which had befallen several
of his ancestors. (Id.)

London in 1684, died there in 1738. He was popular on the stage,
and performed with repute in several of Congreve's best comedies,
particularly in "Love for Love" and "The Old Bachelor," to the suc-
cess of which he is said to have materially contributed. In 17 39 a
book of jests passing under his name and supposed to be the com-
pilation of John Motley, author of the "Life of Peter the Great,"
was published in London and has gained a celebrity which preserves
the name of its assumed author. (Id.)
Section 2 7. Samuel Miller, an American clergyman, born near
Dover, Delaware, October 31, 17 69, died in Princeton, New Jersey,
January 7, 18 50. He graduated at the University of Pennsylvania

Section 2 8. Thomas Miller, an English author, was born in
Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, August 31, 1807: died in Loudon, Oc-
tober 2 5, 1874. He was at first a farmer's boy, devoted his leisure
hours to study, and while following the trade of a basket-maker
began to attract attention by his verses and occasional pieces in
prose, chiefly describing rural life and scenery. He came under the
notice of Moore, Campbell and Rogers, and the last named enabled
him to set up as a book-seller, and thenceforth he became an indus-
trious writer. Among his numerous novels are "Royston Gower,"
1838; "Fair Rosamond," 1839; "Lady Jane Grey," 1840: "Gideon

CHAPTEE -2.
THE MILLER FAMILY.
Article 1 — This Family is of Anglo-Scotch-Irish-Franco-Gernian
mixture, heavily charged ^vith German. The Gemian mode of
spelling the name is Mueller, or Muller.
The several strains of blood had mixed in the Miller name and
numerous branches had run into nearly if not every province of Eu-
rope. Keeping pace with the descendants would be just a little
smaller undertaking than counting the curiosities thrown ashore by
the mighty waves of the ocean, and to fathom the depths of the
penetration of this blood into the strains of the nations would be
more than the life work of an individual.
It must suffice that in a very, very limited measure does this vol-
ume deal somewhat traditionally with the beginning of this Miller
family in America.
The unwritten or traditional record is that before the middle of
the eighteenth century a number of the name (brothers, their wives
and children and sisters) to secure to themselves liberty and that
freedom to worship God as the dictates of their own consciences
longed for, and for the betterment of their conditions in a material
sense, came from Ireland to America. In the day of their immigra-
tion there was a great influx of people into the American colonies
from the old world, and that Robert Miller and his wife and prob-
ably his children, or the older ones, set forth in Chapter 3, were
immigrants and that they settled in the Colony of Virginia. Some
of the immigrants of this family located probably in Pennsylvania
and more northerly parts.
Miss Mary B. Miller, of Huntsville, Alabama, a great grand-
daughter of Colonel .lohn Miller and his wife, Jane Dulaney (set
forth in Sec. 7 of Chap. 3 and Chap. 14) has in her possession the
old leather-covered Bible containing the family record, reaching as
far back as 1732, which the immigrants aforesaid brought with
64 History and Genealogies
them from Ireland (the exact date of the immigration we are unable
to state).
The shades of time and the absence of records have obscured
many facts and circumstances touching the early history of this
family. A systematic, thorough search of the early court and other
records of the old colonies would, it is believed, reveal a great deal
of history that would be interesting to the present and coming gen-
erations of this family with the facts presented just as they were.
That there were immigrations of the name anterior and posterior
to the above mentioned is not questioned.
The writer has not the lucrative means to launch into the in-
vestigation of this interesting question as he would like and must
be somewhat content with just the little that is in hand.
The numerous descendants of the immigrants have scattered and
distributed themselves all over the continent — in the villages, towns
and cities, on the farms and elsewhere, as farmers, preachers, law-
yers, physicians, men of letters, men of commerce, stockmen, scien-
tists, soldiers, politicians, fanatics, etc. Some have gained fame and
are noted in history. And whilst all, by several rungs, have not
reached the top of the ladder, but some to the contrary, notwithstand-
ing, as a whole their record has not been surpassed by any other
one name in our great nation.
The Miller name has been well represented in every great pa-
triotic endeavor of our country — in the early colonial wars, in the
Revolutionary war, in the war of 1812, in the Mexican war, in the
various Indian wars, in the great Civil war of 18 62, wherein father
was arrayed against son and son against father, and brother against
brother, etc., each contending for the right as he saw it, and in
which many gave up their lives for the cause they espoused.
From 1780 to 1795 there were great streams of people flowing
as a mighty tide from Virginia and other colonies or states to Ken-
tucky— the Millers, the Woodes, the Harrises, the Wallaces, the Mau-
pins, and the Kavanaughs from Virginia, and the Oldhams from the
Dan and Yadkin Rivers of North Carolina (who had gone thither
from Fauquier County, Virginia) were in the stream increasing in
no small measure the tide of immigration into the Dark and Bloody
Ground, traveling the only highways which had been blazed and
trodden by the immortalized pioneer, Colonel Daniel Boone, and his
compatriots, known as Boone's Trace, the Wilderness Road, and
the Long Hunter's Path, etc. Many of these immigrants located
in Madison County, and many in other parts of Kentucky. Many
later on moving further west and some southward. A great many
of them when they came to Kentucky were men of mature years,
with families of their own; others finding help-meets after settling

CHAPTEE 3.
ROBERT MILLER, SENIOR
of Virginia.
(Mentioned in Chapter 2.)
Article 1. — Robert sillier, Senior, of Virginia, so styled because he
had a son named Robert and because he made his pennanent
home in Virginia.
The place and date of his birth we are unable to state with cer-
tainty, but he was probably born in Ireland near the beginning of
the eighteenth century, and was the father of our branch of the Vir-
ginia family. He had German blood in his veins, besides other
strains mentioned in Chapter 2. About the year 1731 he was mar-
ried to Miss Ann Lynn. They probably settled in Goochland, Or-
ange, or Albemarle County, where they reared the family.
The formation of counties of Virginia, unless one be perfectly
familiar with the dates of the formations and of the exac; locality
of the home, connected with close study and thought, makes it
difficult at this day to state with exactness the county in which was
located the home of a person one hundred and fifty to sevenly-five
years ago.
The subject was a man of high standing and fidelity to his coun-
try, to which he had affirmed allegiance. He gave his children good
breeding, a good name and fair education — this family has ever
since been one of integrity and above reproach — and aided a great
deal not only in the development of Virginia, but in the settlement,
development and growth of Kentticky and the west and the influ-
ence of same exercised in the nation. They had three datighters
and three sons. It is probable that every one of his sons served in
the war for independence; his son .lohn was a lieutenant and his
son Robert was a private in the Virginia line. Their children were:
Section 1. Elizabeth Miller, born November 15, 1732.
Section 2. Robert Miller, born May 5, 1734. He married about
the year 1763 to Margaret Maupin, a daughter of Daniel Maupin
and Margaret Via, his wife, of Albemarle Cotinty, Va., (see Part 5,
Chap. 3, Sec. 10) of whom further history is given in Chapter 4,
styled Robert Miller, Junior, of Orange, because he established his
home in Orange County.
Section 3. Thomas Miller, born March 20, 173 6. In the family
register of the late Colonel Thomas W. Miller, of Stanford Ky., is
the note that this subject was buried in Kentucky, but the date and
place of his death and burial are not given. One Thomas Miller,
in 1783, was an attorney at law of the Albemarle Bar, at Char-
lottesville, Va.
Section 4. Ann Miller, born November 15, 1739.
Section 5. Margaret Miller, born May 5, 1742.
Section 6. Colonel John Miller, born January 1, 1750. He
married Jane Dulaney. They immigrated to Kentucky and settled
in Madison County. Further details are given in Chapter 14.

ROBERT .MILLiER, JUNIOR
of Orange.
(Named in Chapter 3, Section 2.)
Article 1. — Robert Miller, Junior, of Orange, a son of Robert Miller,
Senior, of Virginia, and Ann Lynn, his wife, was born May 5,
1734, probably in Ireland, and came to America, as stated in
Chapter 3.
About the year 176 3 he was married to Margaret Maupin, a
daughter of Daniel Maupin, Senior, and Margaret Via, his wife,
whose liome was in Albemarle County, Virginia, and where the said
Daniel Maupin died in 1788 (see Part 5, Chap. 3, Sec. 10). Robert
Miller acquired lands in Orange County, Virginia, on which he set-
tled and established his home, and where he died in 1806. After
his death his widow, Margaret, qualified as administratrix of his
estate. A copy of the inventory and appraisement of his personal
estate is presented, to-wit:

Robert Miller in his life time to-wit: On the 25th day of April,
1803, prepared a deed from himself and his wife, Margaret, to their
son, Thomas Miller, which he, the said Robert, signed in the pres-
ence of John Plunkett, William Plunkett, and his son, John Miller,
which was proven in Court, the 27th day of June 1803, however,
his wife, Margaret, for some reason, did not sign and acknowledge
the deed. The deed was recorded in Deed Book No. 23, page 31,
Orange Circuit Court. A copy is in hand in these words:
"This indenture made this 2.5th day of April, one thousand
eight hundred and three, between Robert Miller and Margaret, his
wife, of the County of Orange, of the one part, and Thomas Miller,
of the County aforesaid, of the other part, witnesseth: That the

pounds in hand paid, hath granted, bargained and sold unto the
said Thomas Miller, his heirs and assigns forever, a certain tract or
parcel of land purchased of Jos. Eddins and Peter Thornton. To have
and to hold the said tract or parcel of land with its appurtenances
unto the said Thomas Miller, his heirs and assigns forever, to his

Robert Miller enlisted January 11, 1777, as a private soldier in
Capt. Nathan Reed's company of 14th Virginia Regiment, command-
(j8 Histori/ and Genealogies
ed by Col. Charles Lewis, of Albemarle County. Col. Lewis died
in 17 79, whilst commander of the post at Charlottesville. In Dec-
ember, 177S, this company was designated as Captain Reid's com-
pany of the 10th Virginia Regiment, commanded by Colonel Wil-
liam Davies. In May, 1779, the 1st and the 10th Virginia Regiments
were consolidated and the Company was called Captain Nathan
Reid's and Lieutenant-Colonel Hopkins' Company, 10th Virginia
Regiment, commanded by Colonel William Davies, and sometimes
referred to as the 1st and 10th Virginia Regiment.
These facts are confirmed by the records and Pension Office,
War Department, at Washington, D. C.
The 1st Virginia Regiment was engaged in the battles of Brandy-
wine, Germantown, Guilford Court House, Camden, Xinety-Six and
Eutaw Springs. The 14th Virginia Regiment was in the battles of
Long Bridge, King's Mountain and Ninety-Six, and the 10th Vir-
ginia Regiment .n the battles of Guilford Court House, Eutaw
Springs and Yorktown.
History shows that Captain Nathan Reed's company experienced
hard service.
The canteen and flint lock pistols carried and used by Robert
Miller, whilst a soldier in the Revolutionary Army, his son, Daniel
Miller, brought with him when he emigrated from Virginia to Madi-
son County, Kentucky, and which he safely kept till his death in
1841. After his death these war relics passed into the hands of
his youngest son, Christopher Irvine Miller, which he in turn kept
till ills death. He used the canteen in his wood-shop as a receptacle
for oil with which he mixed paints — the oil acting as a preserver of
the canteen. After the death of C. I. Miller, the canteen went into
the hands of his son, James C. Miller, now living on Muddy Creek,
(postoffice, Moberley, Ky. ), where his father lived and died, and he
yet has the canteen well preserved. The flint-lock pistols and hols-
ters, it is believed, were turned over to Mrs. Junius B. Park,
daughter of C. I. Miller, and if same were not destroyed by fire at
Irvine, Ky., a number of years ago, it is not known where they are.
It would indeed be gratifying to know that they are intact, and to
keep and preserve same as relics.
The oldest child, Daniel Miller, was born May 28, 1764; the
dates of the birth of the other children are unknown, but their
births were between the years 1764 and 17S0.
Through the years intervening the descendants of Robert Miller
and Margaret Maupin, his wife, have been distributed over Virginia,
Kentucky, the West, and elsewhere. Many of them have held
prominent positions in every walk and calling. His daughters all
married and raised families, but of them very little data is at hand.
Their children were:
Section 1. Daniel Miller, born in the County of Albemarle,
Colony of Virginia, May 2 8, 17 64. Was nearly grown at the close
of the Revolutionary War. In Nelson County, Virginia the 2 8th of
November 1793, he married Susannah Woods. (See Part 2, chap.
19, section 8.)
A fuller account is given in chapter 5.
Section 2. John Miller. It is said that he remained in Virginia,
married and raised a family. We have not traced his descendants
or learned his history.
Section 3. Thomas Miller. Some say that he remained in Vir-
ginia, married and raised a family. To him his father conveyed his
land in Orange county April 25, 1803. (Many years ago, these
History and Genealogies 69
•
brothers, were visited in Virginia by their nephew, Colonel Thomas
Woods Miller, at that time a resident of Madison county, Ky.,
afterwards a resident of Stanford, Ky., where he died).
Section 4. Anna Miller married Mr. Neale.
Section 5. Elizabeth Miller married Mr. Snell. "a"
Section 6. Sallie Miller married Jennings Maupin. (See Part
5, Chap. 4, Section 10).
Section 7. Folly Miller married Mr. Thorne.
Section 8. Jennie Miller married Mr. Burke.
Section 9. Susannah Miller married Mr. Begle.
"a" Mrs. Snell, visited her brother, Daniel Miller in Madison
county, Ky., after the death of his wife and remained with him
some time. It is regretted that a fuller account of Daniel Miller's
brothers and sisters and their descendants is not here given, but we
have not succeeded in obtaining any further data or knowledge
of them.
CHAPTER 5.
DANIEL MILLER.
(Named in Section 1, Chap. 4, Part 1).
Article 1. — Daniel jNIiller, son of Robert Miller (Junior) of Orange
and his wife, Margaret Maupin, was bom in the County of
Albemarle or Orange, Colony of Virginia, May 28, 1764, being
nearly gi'own at the close of the Revolutionary War.
In Nelson County, Virginia the 28th of November, 1793, he was
married to the daughter of Colonel John Woods and Susannah
Anderson his wife, namely, Susannah Woods. The said Colonel
John Woods, being a son of Michael Woods, senior (afterwards
called Michael Woods of Blair Park ) and his wife, Mary Campbell.
The said Susannah Anderson being a daughter of Rev. James
Anderson of Pennsylvania, who was a Presbyterian preacher.
Daniel Miller, April 21, 17 79, in Albemarle County, Virginia, was
one of the signers of a declaration of independence by the citizens
of said county.
In the spring of 1795, about the month of May (we fix this
date, for his oldest child, Polly, born in 1794, died May 24th, 1795,
and was buried by the wayside on their journey from Virginia to
Kentucky), Daniel Miller and his wife and babe, in company with
his brothers-in-law, Reids, and his wife's sisters, and their families
and others, left their old home, parents, relatives and friends in Vir-
ginia, and set out across the wilderness for Kentucky, traveling the
wilderness road and Boone's trace and reached Madison County and
settled on Hickory Lick, a branch of Muddy Creek, where he
acquired property as follows, as appears from examinations of the
County Court records, page 223, of Deed Book D., showing that on
May 3, 1797, one David Trotter conveyed to him 103 acres of land
on Paid creek, and page 3 89 of the same book, showing that on
May 6, 1798, one Wm. Minix Williams conveyed to him 100 acres
on the same creek, and page 130 of Deed Book H., showing that on
March 6, 1798, one Henry Banta conveyed to him 98 acres on the
70 Histori/ and Genealogies
same creek, and page 276 of Deed Book K., showing that on Sep-
tember 3, 1814, one W. W. Williams conveyed to him 100 acres on
the same creek, and pages 136 and 149 of Deed Book N. showing
that on April 15, 1818, the heirs of Foster Jones conveyed to him
100 acres on the same waters, (said land coming to said heirs from
their grand-father, Christopher Harris, Senior, deceased) making in
all 501 acres, acquired there by Daniel Miller. He put valtiable
improvements on same and occupied same as a home for a number of
years for there is where his youngest child was born. He was,
however ousted of the possession of the greater portion of the
Hickory Lick lands by General Green Clay, who seems to have had
prior claims — as was the case in many instances in those days — the
matter being in litigation between them for sixteen or seventeen
long years, from 1810 to 1817, the case going at least twice to the
Court of Appeals of Kentucky. Finally a small part of said land
w^as set apart to Daniel Miller, by way of remuneration for improve-
ments he had put thereon, to which remnant as appears of record
Green Clay made to said Daniel Miller a quit claim deed in 1817.
Daniel Miller, by and by parted with what little remained of his
Hickory Lick purchases (Hickory Lick being a branch of Muddy
Creek, and his lands being near the mouth of said branch) and
bought lands on Drowning Creek only a very few miles distant and
moved there and died there, the 2 3d of April, 1841, at the age of 76
years 10 months and 25 days. Here he established a blacksmith
shop, where the wol-k in this line of business was done for a large
part of the surrounding country. He, also, constructed and put
in operation a grist mill and made meal and flour for the people
of the vicinage, and Daniel Miller's mill and shop were noted and
known for miles and miles. A public road was opened to his mill,
which is to this day called Daniel Miller's Mill Road, and the records
show when this road was established, and many subsequent entries
on the records speak of same and often call for the intersection
and otherwise of the Daniel Miller Mill Road.
His home on Drowning Creek, as "well as his former home on
Hickory Lick, were on the direct route from Richmond to the county
seat of Estill County and other mountain county seats, where the
noted lawyers of his day practiced law, and Daniel Miller's house
was their stopping place on their way to and fro.
He was very often commissioned by the court to take deposi-
tions, appraise estates, etc., and in 1799 he, Thomas Collins and
Samuel Gilbert took the depositions of Joseph Proctor the old
pioneer, Indian fighter and preacher, and others.
He must have moved from Hickory Lick to Drowning Creek, in
about the year 1822, and lived there till his death in 1841 — nine
years of the time a widower, his wife having died in 1832, for page
193 of Deed Book P., shows that on June 22, 1822, one Robert
Tevis conveyed to him 327 acres, one rood and 3 4 poles of land on
Downing Creek and after his daughter Malinda had married John
H. Shackelford, to-wit: on September 24, 1835, he bought their
land on Drowning Creek. See Deed Book V., page 361.
Upon the Tevis land on Drowning Creek he put valuable and
permanent improvements — the dwelling and other outhouses he
built, are standing there yet, in a splendid state of preservation.
Before his death, to-wit: on the 31st of January, 1835, he con-
veyed his Drowning Creek lands to his two youngest sons Thomas
W. Miller and Christopher Irvine Miller, reserving forever as a
burial place for his family the plot of ground where his wife was
IJistorij and (joncalogies 71
interred, and where his remains were afterwards buried. See Deed
Book Z., page 315.
After this date, 5th of November, 1S36, he conveyed to Elijah
Yates his 100 acres of land on Muddy Creek (the remainder of his
Hickory Lick lands) by deed recorded in Deed Book W., page 396.
Here in the burial plot above named the mortal remains of
Daniel Miller and his wife were buried, about two hundred yards
more or less, somewhat northwest of the dwelling house, and
stones were put to mark their graves with proper inscriptions.
Since then the children had the remains removed and re-interred in
a lot in the Richmond Cemetery where same now rest, with marble
stones properly inscribed to identify them.
They raised to be grown and have families of their own four sons
and three daughters, all highly respected and regarded — as good
people as the country produces, mention of whom will be made in
the sections immediately following.
It is said of Daniel Miller, that his daughter Malinda reputed to
be very handsome, was his great favorite and married a gentleman
of splendid breeding and family to whom no reasonable objection
could have been raised, but he did not wish his daughter to marry
and leave him, and after she did marry, and when about to say "good
bye," and leave for distant parts, he remarked to her "good-bye
Malinda, I now bury you, for I never expect to see you again," and
it is told that he never after that time saw her.
Mr. Wm. L. Blanton, as successor to his father, Greenup D.
Blanton, now owns and lives at the old Drowning Creek home, and
a few years ago was making some repairs to the house, in the build-
ing of which nails made by Daniel Miller with his own hands were
used, and Mr. Blanton secured a few of these old nails and gave
them to us, which we now hold as souvenirs.
Daniel Miller was very exact and systematic in all that he did,
and it is said of him that he, even when taking off his hat, or
placing it on his head, would take hold of it every time in the
same place and in the same way, and that he ever wore a stiff high-
top or bee-gum hat.
We have in our possesion a buck-horn handle walking stick made
of hickory wood and in imitation of real cane, which he used for a
number of years and which has finger and thumb prints worn into
the handle by being constantly taken hold of in the same way — said
to have been worn in it by himself by long and constant use. The
cane was handed down to us through his youngest child — our father
— and we greatly appreciate it.
He represented Madison County in the General Assembly of
Kentucky, in the years 1806, 1808 and 1811, and helped make
many of the laws of the State in that time.
His first home on Muddy Creek, was near Debans Run near the
cabin of Duree where in 17 82 Peter Duree, John Bullock and his
wife, who was the daughter of old man Duree, were massacred by
the Indians, which event is related by Ambrose Coffee in deposition
taken in 1799, by Daniel Miller, Thomas Collins and Samuel Gilbert,
commissioners of the court.
He was a commissioned Major of Militia' and was addressed as
Major.
Many old people who were living just a few years ago and a
few who are now living knew Daniel Miller well, and all would
speak in high terms of him, and give him a good name and tell
many interesting stories in regard to his peculiarities. Have seen
several who have since left the shores of time who spoke of him
72 History and Genealogies
as a teacher, having gone to school to him and they would invariably
refer to his pains-taking and the peculiarity and regularity of his
habits. It seems that he was a man of some education for his day
and was not satisfied without imparting knowledge to the youth of
the country.
At the time of his death he had several grand-children grown or
nearly grown, who, in after years, had vivid recollections of him and
who often talked of him besides others of an older generation. Thej'
all gave him reverence.
Susannah Woods, his wife, was born in Nelson County, Virginia,
September 21, 17 68 and died on Drowning Creek August 13, 1832,
in the 64th year of her age. Mention of her death and burial has
already been made. She was regarded as a fine woman in appear-
ance as well as in what she did and it is said she was a great
favorite of her father, Colonel John Woods of Albemarle. (See
Part 22, Chap. 19, Section 8).
Their children are named in the coming sections:
Section 1. Polly Miller a daughter was born in Albemarle
County, Virginia Octoberl9, 179 4, and when her parents were mov-
ing the next spring to Kentucky, she was violently attacked with,
whooping cough which caused her death May 24, 1795, age 7
months and 5 days, and her remains were buried by the wayside
under a large tree on the route they were traveling.
Section 2. Colonel Robert Miller, a son, was born in Madison

CHAPTEE 7.
GENERAL JOHN MILLER.
(Named in Chapter 5, Section 3.)
Article 1. — General John Miller, a son of Daniel Miller and Susannah
Woods, his wife, was bom on >Iuddv Creek, near the mouth of
its tributary, Hickory Lick, in Madison County, Kentucky,
,rune 30, 1798.
He was educated in the county schools of his day, receiving, by
close application and industry, a good common English education,
the best his schools could impart. He
became thoroughly conversant with mil-
itary tactics and military affairs; he was
a beautiful and swift penman, an ex-
cellent business man; he was in every
sense an accomplished gentleman, as gen-
tle as a dove, as brave as a lion. He
was one of the most public spirited men
of Madison County, was foremost in for-
warding the interest of the community —
procuring fine schools for the education
of the boys and girls; he numbered many
distinguished men among his acquaint-
ances, notably. Lieutenant General Win-
field Scott, who showed him marked at-
^ tention on a trip East that he made, ac-
companied by his affectionate wife. He
was prominent in laying the corner stone
GEN. JOHN MILLER of the Henry Clay monument, being one
of the field marshals and in command of the military contingent

History and Genealogies
ELIZABETH I. GOCDLOE
Wife of Gen. John Miller
from ?kIadison, Estill, Garrard, and Lincoln. His first introduction
into military life, for which he ever had a fondness, came about in
this way: During his young manhood,
whilst living in Richmond, the young
blood of the town and surrounding coun-
try organized a volunteer military com-
pany and uniformed it, which organiza-
tion was equipped with guns and muni-
tions of war by the State. John Miller
was elected captain of the company. In
the military system of the State all the
officers v.-ere commissioned by the Gover-
nor; it was always the custom for each
company to select by vote its own cap-
tain, and while the Governor was not
bound by law to respect such selection,
yet he invariably commissioned the choice
of the company. After receiving his com-
mission as captain, John Miller rose by
regular promotion to major, lieutenant-
colonel, colonel, brigadier-general, and
major-general — that is, to the highest rank in the military arrange-
ment of the State. A major-general's command was that of eight
regiments; his command then comprised the militia of the Counties
of ]\Iadison, Estill, Garrard, and Lincoln. At his death General
Miller held a commission to raise a Brigade of Federal troops to
be composed of four regiments — that is, he was authorized by the
Federal Government to recruit such a Brigade, of which he would
be given the command, to fight for the preservation of the Union,
but his death ended his endeavors in this direction.
The battle of Richmond, Kentucky, was fought August 3 0, 1862,
between the Federal and Confederate forces, in which engagement
the Federals were utterly routed. General Miller took an active
part in this battle — he went into the battle as aid to General Schaoff,
(August 130, 1862) and whilst trying to rally a disordered column
n^ar Mount Zion Meeting House, on the Big Hill Road, fell mortally
wounded; he was removed to the residence of Mr. Thomas Palmer
near by, where he breathed his last September 6, 18 62. His remains
were buried in the Richmond Cemetery, the inscriptions on the
monument, towit;
"Gen'l John Miller,
Born June 30, 1798.
Mortally wounded Aug. 30, 18 62,
while gallantly rallying a disordered column of soldiers
bearing the banner of the Union.
Died Sept. 6, 1862.
"Brave, generous and affectionate, he commanded the
admiration of the virtuous when living; and in death their
unfeigned regret."
By the side of his tomb is that of his wife on which is inscribed-.
"Elizabeth J.
wife of
Gen'l John Miller.
Daughter of Wm. and Susannah Goodloe.
Born November 23, 1809. Died October 31, 1876."
"Her children rise up and call her blessed."

will perpetuate the memory of General Miller, his gallantry, his pat-
riotism, and the note of that event, and of his good wife so long as
the monument stands.
A letter from the Treasury Department, Washington City, bear-
ing date September 2, 1862, signed by the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue was forwarded to General John Miller, Richmond, Ky.,
notifying him of his appointment by the President of the United
States as Collector of Internal Revenus, under the act of Congress,
approved July 1, 1862, entitled "An act to provide Internal Revenue
to support the Government, and to pay interest on the public debt,"
for the 2nd Collection district of the State of Kentucky, comprising
the Counties of Boyle, Cumberland, Clinton, Adair, Casey, Taylor,
Green, Russell, Pulaski, Wayne, Lincoln, Madison, Garrard, Rock-
castle, Laurel, Wnitley, Knox, Harlan, Letcher, Pike, Floyd, Johnson,
Perry, Owsley, Estill, Clay, Breathitt, Wolfe, Magoffin, and Jack-
son, and Wm. M. Spencer, Esq., of Greensburg, was appointed
assessor for the same disti-ict.
Mr. Miller's commission as collector with a bond in the penal
sum of $50,000, was the same day forwarded to Hon. Bland Ballard,
Judge, U. S. District Court, Louisville, for execution by General
Miller, who was directed to divide his district into such divisions as
he might deem expedient, designate them by numbers and appoint
Deputy Collectors, in each for whose official conduct he would be
held responsible, etc., but four days after the date of this letter and
commission. General Miller died.
In his young manhood, he acquired considerable reputation as
a military officer and disciplinarian, and at almost all the military
displays in his section, he was placed in command.
In 18 40, the great celebration of the Settlement of Kentucky,
was held at Boonsborough with a Military Encampment consisting
of all the Volunteer and Amateur Military Companies of the State
in attendance for a week or more. It was a state occasion and celebra-
tion and attended by large crowds, besides the military array and
display. General Miller was made commandant of the encampment,
considered quite a distinction, as there was much discussion as to
who would be the proper man to conduct it. General Leslie Combs
was one of his sub-altern officers. In his day an annual board of
visitors, consisting of seven persons appointed by the President of
the United States, two Senators by the President of the Senate, and
three Representatives by the Speaker of the House, attended the
annual examinations of the United States Military Academy at West
Point and made annual report on the condition of the academy.
General William Henry Harrison died within about one month after
his inauguration the 4th of March, 1841, as President-elect of the
United States, which event placed the Vice President, Mr. Tyler,
in the high office of President. During this term General Miller
was selected by the President as one of the seven distinguished
,gentlemen to attend in 1841 the annual examination of the acad-
emy. Colonel John Speed Smith, who up to the time of General
Harrison's candidacy for the Presidency had been a Democrat, be-
came an ardent supporter of General Harrison: he had been one of
General Harrison's aids-de-camp during the Indian wars and was
a warm personal as well as political friend of General Harrison, and
Colonel Smith greatly interested himself in procuring the appoint-
ment for General Miller.
Mr. Owsley was elected Governor of the State of Kentucky in
1844; during his administration the trial and execution at Man-
78 Histori/ and Genealogies
Chester, Clay County, Ky., of Dr. Abner Baker for the murder of
his brother-in-law, Daniel Bates, occurred. There was very great
excitement not only in Clay County, but also in the counties of Mad-
ison and Garrard, in which each of the parties had many relatives
and friends; very strenuous efforts were made by the friends of Dr.
Baker to have him pardoned, which efforts were as strenuously re-
sisted by the friends of Mr. White; the Governor, however, declined
to intercede. Fearing an effort at rescue, upon petition, the Gov-
ernor, to prevent rescue and preserve the peace and dignity of the
State, called out the militia of Madison County and placed General
Miller in command thereof; and he marshalled his forces and they
marched to the scene of the apprehended trouble; it was considered
a very responsible and difBcult position. He and his men were on
,duty several weeks at Manchester, remaining till after the execution.
General Miller was a prominent merchant of Richmond, Ky.,
from his early manhood until a very short time before his end. In
his mercantile life he made many horseback trips from his native
town to Baltimore, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities for mer-
chandise. On one of these Eastern trips, in 1835, he arrived from
Baltimore in Philadelphia on the evening of March 13, 1835, and
stopped at the United States Hotel. A letter in his own. hand, writ-
ten by him at 10 o'clock p. m. the next day, at said hotel, to his
wife Elizabeth, begins in this way: "Having an opportunity
by the Hon. Davy Crockett, I drop you a line." Col. Crock-
ett, the Representative from Tennessee, was figuring upon a large
scale in the East, receiving great ovations of immense crowds and
the night this letter was written General Miller attended the the-
ater on Arch Street to witness a reception given Colonel Crockett,
who when he (Crockett) took his seat in the box was cheered for
several minutes heavily. "Go ahead," etc., etc., rang from side to
side by an immense crowd, which General Miller writes was much
the largest he had ever seen in the city, and he had the pleasure of
an introduction to Colonel Crockett by Representative Mr. Low.
On more than one occasion General Miller visited his kins-
people in Virginia, making the trip on horseback.
He owned and occupied as his home, till just before his death,
the handsome and desirable property on Lancaster Avenue, now
owned and occupied by William W. Watts, Esquire; on the site of
the old mansion Mr. Watts has erected a large palatial residence.
General .John Miller, on the 2 3d day of April, 18 30, was married,
near Richmond, Ky., to Elizabeth Jones Goodloe. She was born
November 23, 1809, and died October 31, 1876. (See obituary.)
She was a daughter of William Goodloe and Susannah Woods, his
wife. (See Part 2, Chap. 11.) Mrs. Miller was a most excellent
Christian woman, wife and mother.
Obituary — Miller. (Died) At the residence of Gen. David S.
Goodloe, in Lexington, on Tuesday, October 3, 1876, Mrs. Elizabeth
J. Miller, aged 67 years, having been born November 2 3, 1809.
This excellent lady was a daughter of William Goodloe, Sr., and a
native of Madison County. In early womanhood she was married
to Gen. John Miller, and thereafter lived in the town of Richmond
until her husband's death, who, it will be remembered, lost his life
in the ranks of the Union army in the battle near this place, August
30, 1862. Mrs. Miller subsequently removed to Paris, Ky., and con-
tinued to reside there until her death. Her acquaintance and rela-
tionship were wide and general throughout many of the counties of
Central Kentucky and in other States, and it can be said with no
Histori/ (tiul Grnealof/lrs 79
•
exaggeration, but with perfect truth, that wherever and by whom-
soever known she commanded the most affectionate and heartfelt
love and respect. Her virtues and personal character and intelli-
gence were of the highest order. She was a prudent, generous and
affectionate wife, mother, sister and friend. Her life was of
chequered experience. She had known affluence and poverty, joy
and many sorrows. Death, in varied and the severest terms, had
again, again and again knocked at the portal of her house, and had
borne away from her — parents, brothers, sisters, husband and chil-
dren; but with unshrinking fortitude she bowed submissively to
these trials and bereavements and prayed for strength to watch over
and nurture the orphans thrown upon her care, thus rounding off
beautifully her life and supplanting sorrow by duty. Her final de-
parture from earth was very sudden and was a crushing blow to
her family. Down to the very morning of her death she seemed in
robust and perfect health, and was enjoying the society of relatives
in Fayette preparatory to a visit to the home of her childhood, youth
and maturer years. But, alas! that visit was never to be paid; but
on the day following her remains were borne hither in pall and
shroud, and in the presence of sorrov/ing kindred and friends were
consigned to that narrow house appointed for all the living. But
they who knew and loved her do not doubt that, life's Christian
duties all discharged, she has met the reward of eternal rest prom-
ised to the saints of God through the merits and sacrifices of the
Redeemer, who had been her trust and stay. Mrs. Miller was a
woman of rare dignity of character, of noble presence, intellectual
and cultured; her sympathies were broad, she practiced the truest
benevolence, a good friend, loyal wife and devoted mother. She
finished her education at one of the best boarding schools of the
day at Lexington. She was always fond of her husband's brothers
and a good friend to them — appreciated them at their full worth.
The half has not been told of her goodness and worth.
The children of General .John Miller and Elizabeth .1. Goodloe,
his wife:
Section 1. Susannah Woods Miller, born at Richmond, Ky.,
■February 13, 1831. She married. May 25, 1851, her cousin. Dr.
Michael Woods Barclay, of Lexington, Vii^ginia. (See Part 2, Chap.
28, Sec. 2.) She died at Paris, Ky., March 30, 1877. She was a
lovely character, a charming Christian. The marriage occurred in
Richmond, Ky. Dr. Barclay died October 23, 1858, as set forth in
the obituary notice, towit:
(Died) "In this place, on Saturday, October 23. 1858, at eleven
p. m., at the residence of Gen. .John Miller, Dr. M. W. Barclay, of
nulmonary consumption. The subject of this notice was born in
Lexington, Rockbridge County, Va., December 2, 1824; graduated
at Washington College, Va., in 1844; received the degree of Medi-
cine from .Jefferson College, Philadelphia, in 1847; removed to Ken-
tucky in 1849; was married in 1851; practiced medicine in Bour-
bon County until 1854, when he removed to St. Francis County,
Ark., and there, after enjoying a lucrative practice of his profes-
sion until 1857, he was attacked with consumption, which termi-
nated in his decease at the age of thirty-three years, nine months
and twenty-one days. It rarely becomes necessary to chronicle the
death of so interesting a character as the one under notice. En-
dowed by nature with superior intellect, the life which under all
fircumstances would have been marked with interest, was especial-
ly so with the super-added advantages of a refined and scholastic
so Histori/ ((III] Genralogips
education. Who can but lament that one so gifted should have
been cut down in the meridian of manhood; that the tree which
promised so abundant a harvest of usefulness should in a few mo-
ments lie low with earth?. Nevertheless, 'being dead, he yet speak-
eth,' and they who survive as mourners remember the whispers of
that faith which bade them prepare to meet him in the skies. They
remember the fruits of that religion which taking its abode in his
soul in 1855, in a distant State, was his 'firm foundation' during
the panigs of dissolution. As husband, brother, son and friend his
life was worthy of emulation, but as a Christian — being a devoted
member of the Methodist Church — survivors contemplate his char-
acter with the greatest delight. Truly 'the righteous hath hope in
his death,' for while his faith pointed to a heart purified from sin,
to a love which only the ransomed know, and to a victory over the
world complete and triumphant, that hope still sheds its fragrance
over the grave, warning all of his glorious resurrection and their
mortality. May God sanctify to the afflicted their deepest distress
and distill within them the dew of heaven for solace now, and for
glory hereafter.
"Life's duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say.
How blest the righteous when he dies."
Their children were:
1. Hugh Barclay, born October 17, 18 52, at Clintonville, Bour-
bon County, Ky.; died March 3 0, 18 55, in St. Francis County,
Arkansas.
2. Bettie M. Barclay, born in Richmond, Ky., September 30,
1854; died June 2 0, 1876, at Paris, Ky.
1. Mary M. Barclay, was born at Glenann, St. Francis County,
Ark., March 4, 1857; died March 13, 1877.
Obituary — Barclay. Died in this city. Mar. 13, 1877, at the res-
idence of her grandmother, the late Mrs. Elizabeth J. Miller, Miss
Mary M. Barclay, of consumption. Again death has entered a
stricken household. Less than a year ago the deceased was ap-
parently in the enjoyment of health, but the places that knew
her shall know her no more. Stealthily disease laid its hand
upon her, preparing the way for the approach of death. But
her kindred who knew her best do not doubt that death was
made the occasion to her of a happy exchange and great gain.
Four years ago, upon professing faith in Christ as the Savior
of sinners, she was received into the Baptist Church of this city;
as they believe, persevered in the faith with childlike confidence
in .Jesus' power to save unto the end. After the development of
her disease she seems to have been resigned to it without com-
plaint. A short time before her departure she sang these words
of a favorite song: "I am waiting, worn and weary," etc.
Her purity of character, gentle manners and kindness of heart
have left her memory embalmed in the hearts of many who sigh
and shed tears over her early death. In mercy to her, we trust
God has granted her exemption from the trials of life and rests
with loved ones who have preceded her in the home of the justi-
fied. No feeling person can regard the removal of this lovely
girl from earth to the realm of spirits without awful contempla-
tion of the mysteriousness of the divine appointment, or without
sympathy for a mourning household, especially for an afflicted

mother, who, herself on a bed of sickness, without parents, with-
out husband, and childless, is left to mourn the wreck of departed
hopes. May the God of Jacob be found her refuge and strength.

Baptist Magazine, published at Mexico, Mo. For a long period served
the church in Richmond, Ky., administering ordinances and preach-
ing. He is a highly educated gentleman, a son of Thompson Bur-
nam, a staunch Primitive Baptist in his day. Mrs. Burnam died
February 3, 186 — . Elder Burnam married again Ann Williams.
(See Part 2, Chap. 11, Sec. 2). The issue of the marriage of Mar-
garet S. Miller and Elder E. H. Burnam:
1. Prof. John Miller Burnam (Ph. D.), now filling the chair
of Latin in the Cincinnati University, was born at Irvine, Ky.,
April 9, 1864. In 18 69 he came with his parents to Boone Coun-
ty, Mo., where he remained until 187 6, when his family returned
to Richmond, Ky. From January, 1877, to June, 1878, he was
a student at Central University, Richmond, Ky. In the fall of
1878 he entered Smith Academy, St. Louis, Mo., and the next
year became a member of the Freshman class of Washington Uni-
versity. In September, 18 80, Dr. Burnam matriculated at Yale
University, New Haven, Conn. His career at that institution was
most brilliant. He won the Hulbunt Scholarship in May, 1881,
and the Berkeley Premium in Latin Composition the same year.
In June, 18 84, he received his A. B. degree and the Larned
Scholarship ($3 00 per year). For two years after graduation he
pursued his studies at Yale as a graduate student in Sanskrit
(under the celebrated Whiting) Latin and (chiefly) Romance
languages, and was made a Doctor of Philosophy in 1886. Dur-
ing the next three years Dr. Burnam continued his researches
abroad, studying in France, Germany and Spain. Since his home
coming he has pursued his special studies in Latin and Roman
Palaeography with great zeal and has prepared a series of orig-
inal articles on Statues and Prudontius which appear as a part
of the American School at Rome, in the American Journal of
Archaeology. His collection of manuscripts is one of the best
in the United States, perhaps the best, and most comprehensive
owned by a private individual in this country, in spite of the fact
that the greater portion of his library was destroyed by the burn-
ing of the old university building in 1892. He was elected to
membership in the American Philological Association in June,
1899.

Ky. She married Charles Stephens, at Paris, Ky., October 22, 1867.
Mr. Stephens was born in Paris, Ky., December 21, 18 40. He is
a successful merchant and leading citizen of that place. Their
children are:
1. Dr. William Barclay Stephens, born in Paris, Ky., January
4, 1869; graduated from Georgetown College in the class of 1890,
with A. M. degree. In the fall of the same year he entered the
College of Physicians and Surgeons, Medical Department of Co-
lumbia College, in the city of New York. After the required three
years' preparation, practicing during the time in the Roosevelt
Hospital and Vanderbilt Clinic, he received his diploma. Also
one from Vanderbilt Clinic for the special course of the treatment
of the eye. Immediately upon graduation he located in San Fran-
cisco as specialist for the eye, ear and throat, where he is en-
gaged in a large and extensive practice. He resides across the
bay in the city of Alameda, where he also has office. He ranks
amongst the first as specialist and authority. His office was de-
stroyed by fire after the earthquake. He was appointed official
bacterialogist by the Board of Health. The Alameda (California)
Argus prints the following in the August 5 issue concerning Dr.
W. Barclay Stephens, son of Mr. Charles Stephens, of Paris:
"Dr. W. B. Stephens was given a surprise last evening when
he appeared to attend the meeting of the Board of Health, of
which he is a member. It was the first session the Doctor has
attended since his illness. He has become a Benedict since his
recovery, and the fact was duly noted by the members of the
board and the employees of the Health Department. As a mark
of the high esteem in M^hich the Doctor is held by them they pre-
sented him with an elegant cut glass set. The presentation was
made, on behalf of the board and the Health Department em-
ployees, by Dr. W. O. Smith, who spoke of the friendly relations
that existed between the Doctor and his co-workers, of his valu-
able service to the city, and of the great interest he took in the
affairs of the Health Board. Congratulations were also extended
as a result of the Doctor's wedding. Dr. Stephens was taken com-
pletely by surprise and could hardly find words to express his
deep sense of appreciation for the kindly sentiments of those with
whom he has been associated for so long. He was married Wed-
nesday, June 24, 1903, to Louise Bruce, at the home of the bride's
father. Captain James H. Bruce, No. 1262 Jackson Street, San
Francisco, by the Rev. Guthrie, of San Francisco. There were no
attendants and the ceremony was witnessed only by a few rela-
tives and immediate friends of the couple."
William Barclay Stephens, in his youth was a perfect genius;
In his maturer years, turned his genius to the human body and
is now one of the noted surgeons for the operation on the head
and about the brain; he is well known in the medical world.
They have one child:

14, 1847; died of cholera in 1849.
All the daughters of General John Miller were handsome, stylish,
well educated, accomplished women; their superiors are not in this
country. General Miller and his wife educated their children in the
best schools and gave them proper training and entered them in the
best society, and they grew up to be women of graceful and beauti-
ful manners; they respected all entitled to respect and were re-
spected by every one who came in contact with them. Through the
trials and vicissitudes of life each has kept her fair name. Two of
the married daughters, Mrs. Hinton and Mrs. Stephens, of Paris,
Ky., and the single daughter Miss Lucy, with their brother, John B.,
survive, and all reside in the same city, Paris, Ky. As their days
have demanded so has their strength been. The good times John
had with the family of his uncle Irvine in his young days, when
he and Ed. Shackelford and often Marion Green, and sometimes
others, would come out from Richmond in the fall of the year in
the quailing season and spend times hunting the girds, are well re-
membered. Uncle Irvine and Aunt Talitha's home was to them a
great place of enjoyment, where they had perfect freedom in the
field of sport and pleasure.

CHAPTER 8.
MAJOR JAMES MILLER.
(Named in Section 4, Chapter 5, Part 1.)
Article 1. — Major James ^Miller, a son of Daniel Miller and Susannah
Woods, his wife, was born in Madison County, Kentucky, Au-
gust 3, 1800.
He was married in said county July 2 4, 182 3, to Frances M.
Harris, a daugliter of John Harris and Margaret Maupin, his wife.
(See Part 3, Chap. 41.) She was born
March 2 6, 1802, and died December 17,
18 80. About the year 1826 or 1827 he
moved his family to Lincoln County, Ky.,
and bought a farm near Milledgeville,
and lived there a few years; sold his
farm, bought another on Dick's River,
about five miles from Stanford, to which
he moved and there made his permanent
home and engaged in farming and stock
raising until his death, which occurred
May 2, 18 69. The remains of both were
interred in the Richmond Cemetery. Maj.
James Miller was, under the old regime,
a Major of Militia. He was a solid, good
man, honest, kind, generous, and brave:
he had a fair common English education
and was a good scribe. At his home ele-
gant entertainments were given. Al-
though he held no office other than that
mentioned, he possessed the qualifications of a statesman, and was
well versed in the affairs of government. Many distinguished per-
sons were guests at his home. His wife was a noble Christian
woman and saint of God, endowed with a strong mind, well bal-
anced, kind, affectionate, true, loyal and devoted wife and mother,
with many friends. Both were highly esteemed by their neighbors,
acquaintances and relatives and all spoke in the highest terms and
most reverently of Major Miller and his wife. Their children were:
Section 1. Christopher Miller, a son, born in Madison County;
died in his youth (Nov. 2 5, 182 4 — Aug. 18, 1829).
Section 2. Daniel Miller, a son, born in Madison County, Sept.
10, 1826; was never married; died a bachelor, having prior to his
death, upon a profession of faith in the Savior, united with the old
Baptist Church. He served many years in the capacities of Deputy
Sheriff and Constable of his county.
Section 3. Margaret Susan Miller, a daughter, born in Lincoln
County, Oct. 4, 1828; married Dr. William Pettus, May 17, 1859.
She survived her husband many years and died. The remains of
both lie in the cemetery at Danville. Their only son:
1. James Miller Pettus, born June 2 8, 1860; married a kins-
woman. Miss Jennie Pettus, of Lincoln County, and purchased a
farm near Stanford, on which he now lives.

Section 4. Malinda Miller, a daughter, born July 26, 1830;
married Mr. John Butler, Nov. 17, 1868, with whom she lived a
number of years and he died, after which she became the wife of
Leo Hayden, a prominent citizen of Lincoln County, Feb. 9, 1875,
whom she also survived. She ventured for the third time into the
holy state of matrimony by joining her fortunes with John T. Stone,
of Edgerron, Missouri, May 22, 1879, in which State they now
live at Edgerton, Platte County, Missouri. Since the above was
written Mr. Stone has died, and Mrs. Stone now lives at Stanford,
Kentucky.
Section 5. John Harris Miller, born in Lincoln County, Ky.,
Feb. 27, 1832. He married a widow, Mrs. Angeline Brown Harris,
widow of Charles Lee Harris, Feb. 9, 1875. She was born Oct. 9,
1832: died Sept. 8, 1881. (See Part VHI, Chap. 14, Sec. 8, and Part
in. Chap. 4.) She died without issue, the subject surviving; after
which he was married to Miss Sallie Phillips, of Stanford, which
proved to be an unhappy union and a separation took place.
Under the second administration of Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent of the United States, John H. Miller was appointed Consul to
Falkland Islands, off the extreme southern east coast of South
America, in the Atlantic Ocean, whence he went and spent four years
of his life. He returned home by way of London, England, and
other noted places, having a long and very interesting voyage, and
was received at his Lincoln County home with open hands and kind-
soft hearts by the people, who met him at the depot in throngs, with
the brass band and drum, which was too much for him and complete-
ly overcame him and filled him too full for utterance when called
upon for an account of himself; his actions spoke louder than his
words.
He enlisted as a soldier in the Civil War of 1862, and espoused
the cause of the South and entered the army's active service, two
of his brothers being enlisted in the same cause.
He was a humorous and spicy writer under "Happy Jack, " his
nom de plume. His productions were much complimented and were
very amusing to the reader. A sample is here offered, not, how-
ever, of his humorous:
"Gen. Wolford.
"To every Kentucky survivor of The Lost Cause. To the Editor of
the Interior Journal:
U. S. Consulate, Port Stanley, Falkland Islands,
January 10, 1896.
"Comrades: — When the war closed the Kentucky soldiers re-
turned home draped in mournful glory. Many flowers from the
ranks of her contending wings had been cut down. We who sur-
vived 'The Lost Cause' had been denied citizenship. No day during
the war was so sad, so dark as that day. Gen. Wolford, without
solicitation or delay, came to our defense. Others who were con-
sidered great, not great like Wolford, Kentucky has never had but
one Wolford, he was as good a man as Gov. Blackburn and greater
than Blackburn — -cringed, trembled and faltered. Not so then, never
so with Wolford. Braver than all men, more generous, if possible,
than brave, he came quickly but quietly to our rescue. Oi)position
vanished like trash before the wind. There stood the old man in
his noble bearing, almost alone, brave and dauntless, but cool and
collected, not defiant, not dismayed, not disheartened. His rugged
and benevolent face and brilliant eye fairly beamed and twinkled
8G Histori/ and Genealogies
with smiles and love as he extended us his open hand of sincere
friendship as a free-will offering. The eye of Kentucky turned in
astonished gaze upon Wolford. These were times of peril, but Wol-
ford was not afraid; he had Truth, Goodness, Love, and Duty as
his bodyguard. His great, big heart, that it was impossible to en-
large, imparted much of its goodness to every contracted nature
that dared listen to his charming theme. Hear him:
"The war is ended, my countrymen. We are all glad, too glad
for resentment. This is not the day for Kentucky to bolt her doors
against any class of her manhood. Her doors mtist be unbolted and
thrown wide open to all alike. The Southern soldier has fought
his last battle. He has stirrendered; we have brought him home
with tis, not as a prisoner. Heaven forbid. We shake our heads
at the thought. Kentucky cannot afford, will not dare, hold as
prisoners or aliens this brave band of her own sons who dared bare
their breasts to battle's storm for their honest conviction. Ken-
tucky needs such men to-day. They have stood for four years, true
as steel against those hundreds of thousands of native patriots who
rushed to the front so promptly, as well as against all those whom
our money could hire from abroad. These are the men we have
brought home, but not as prisoners, not as aliens. They must put
on the whole armor of citizenship."
Such was his plea for us. Thank God for Wolford. No wonder
our dear old mothers, dead and gone long ago, sung "Home Again"
so sweetly.
When convinced of his right, he never hesitated, but did it on
the instant. He never weighed conseqtiences, nor looked about for
friends. "How many men like Wolford have yoti in Kentucky?"
asked the great Lincoln of Senator Garret Davis when Wolford was
carried to Washington tinder arrest. "He is the only one, Mr.
President; you can shoot him every morning for his convictions,
but he will never stir render one." Mr. Lincoln knew Wolford was
a man; he was a man himself, never surrendering a conviction;
this taught Wolford to highly regard sincere conviction of others.
Daring to do all he thought right, he never counted cost or thought
of reward. He was a jewel above price. This simple child of na-
ture, so profusely endowed with the best and richest gift that
heaven has yet bestowed on man — a love for his fellows that casts
out all fear, is gone.
Col. T. P. Hill, of Stanford, Ky., proposes that the Confederates
erect a monument to his memory.
We must not insult or wound the feeling of his "Old Regiment."
Wolford's men never would bear crowding on, none of us can forget
that, but with their permission to render this heart offering to our
"best friend" in our darkest day, we can give Col. Hill substantial
assurance that we cannot forget that ready, willing, able hand that
rescued us in the day of our calamity. We have lost our bravest and
most generous foe in war, our best friend in peace. "We shall not
look upon his like again.' Allow me to suggest the inscription for
the monument.
Erected by the
Kentucky Confederates.

The foregoing is not one of his humorous pieces, and is not
signed in his nom de plume, "Happy Jack," under which name he
usually wrote; but we think it good and therefore have presented
same here.
The subject was not blessed with issue of either marriage. He
died in Lincoln County, Ky., about two years ago, at the age of
about 70 years. He was an amusing conversationalist and known
for his honesty and strong affection for his friends, whom he never
for a moment forgot.
Section 6. Fannie Miller, a daughter, born in Lincoln County,
April 18, 1836; died young. 1836 — 1837.

2, 1834. He enlisted in the service of the Southern Confederacy in
the Civil War of 1862, under General Morgan; was captured on
Morgan's famous raid into the States of Indiana and Ohio, and
lay for a time as a prisoner of war in the Federal prison Camp
Douglas, Chicago, Illinois. After his release from prison he re-
turned to his home in Lincoln County, Ky., and on the 10th of
January, 1870, he married Gertrude Pettus. His wife died, and
on the 17th of March, 1872, he married his second wife. Miss Susan
Chenault. They lived for a time in Lincoln County, Ky., and moved
to Kansas some thirty years ago. Later they moved to Tishomingo,
Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, where he died, April 16, 19 05.
Carrying out his request before his death, his body was expressed
to Richmond, Ky., and laid in the grave by the side of that of his
first wife, Gertrude, in the cemetery at that place. After his death
Mrs. Miller moved to Ardmore, Indian Territory, in the Chickasaw
Nation, where she now lives. Issue of the first marriage:

29, 1822; a substantial farmer of Jessamine County, where they
88 Flistori/ ditd Genealogies
lived many years, where children were born to them. Some years
since they moved to the State of Texas, and now (1905) live in the
city of Ft. Worth; both old and infirm, Mr. Portwood being 84
years old, his wife many years younger. We visited them at Ft.
Worth in 1904. Mr. Portwood died in 1906. Their children:

born in Lincoln County, June 17, 18 42, named for his uncle William
Harris; was educated in the common schools of the county and at
Centre College, Danville, Ky. Before completing the course at col-
lege he abandoned his studies to champion the cause of the South-
ern Confederacy, and in 1862 enlisted in Company B, 6th Ky. Cav.,
the fortunes of which command he shared until captured at Chishire,
Ohio, in 18 63. In the following year he made his escape from the
Federal prison at Chicago (Camp Douglas), Illinois, and rejoined
General Morgan in Virginia, remaining until the fatal day that
ended General Morgan's life at Greenville, Tennessee, at
which time and place Mr. Miller was present and received
a severe wound. He was discharged in 1865, and soon
after returned to his Lincoln County home, and having
decided upon the profession of law, entered the office of Squire
Turner, of Richmond, Ky., under whom he did his preparatory read-
ing. Was admitted to the bar in 18 66, and located at Stanford for
the practice of his profession. In 1868 was elected Clerk of the
Lincoln Circuit Court, and during his encumbency edited, in con-
nection with M. C. Saufley, the Central Dispatch. In 187 3 was ap-
pointed Assistant Clerk of the House of Representatives. In 1874
was defeated for the office of Circuit Court Clerk. In politics he
was a Democrat, and in 187 6 was Presidential Elector for the
Eighth Congressional District of Kentucky. In 1878 was elected
County Attorney of Lincoln County, and served his constituents as
such. He was the delegate from Lincoln County to the convention
that framed the present Constitution of the State of Kentucky.
In 1879 he was married to Miss Katherine Portman, daughter of
M. C. Portman, of Stanford, Ky., Dec. 9, 1879. His wife was born
Sept. 2, 1853. They were blessed with one child, a daughter,
(1) Malinda Catherine Miller, born April 22, 1882. Wm. H. Miller
died in Lincoln County, his wife and daughter surviving; now
(1905) living at Stanford.
We here relate a coincidence:
This subject and the writer both bore the same name exactly,
"William Harris Miller," the former a citizen of Lincoln, the latter
of Madison County, sons of brothers, and the former's mother an
aunt of the latter's mother, and both were great personal friends.
During the space 1880-1893 the latter was Clerk of the Madison
Circuit Court and had a close friend in the office as assistant (Col.
R. X. White) ; one day he went to the postoffice and received a card
History and Genealogies 89
«
from the blank book manufacturing establishment of John P. Morton
& Co., Louisville, directed to W. H. Miller, Richmond, Ky., in sub-
stance: "Please acknowledge the receipt of 100 abstracts of title
we sent you at Stanford, Ky."
On returning to the clerk's office the latter showed the card to
his deputy. Col. White, and told him he had made no such order
and would answer the card in a way that in the future there would
be no such confusion and mi.xture of the mail matter, and did im-
mediately answer thus: "Sirs: — Your card in regard to the ab-
stracts of title received. I ordered none and received none. I have
a cousin residing at Stanford, Ky. His name is W. H. Miller; my
name is W. H. Miller. His father was a Miller; my father was a
Miller. His mother was a Harris: my mother was a Harris. His
wife is named Kate; my wife is named Kate. He used to be Circuit
Court Clerk; I am now Circuit Court Clerk, and about the only
difference between us is, he is a lawyer, and I am not ; he is older
and has more sense than I.'"
The reply was shown to Col. White, to whom we stated we
could say further, if necessary: He had an Uncle Bob, I had an
Uncle Bob; he had an Uncle John, so did I; he had an Uncle Tom,
so did I; he had Aunts Susan, Malinda, and Margaret, so did I, and
the Colonel, with an interjection, said: "It will be published in
every paper of the State." It was pretty extensively published. The
book concern never after got our orders mixed.
We have received letters from our cousin addressed to W. H.
Miller and signed with the same name, as though one was writing
to himself.
On one occasion we received a letter from him saying he had
a dun from a jewelry establishment of Louisville, and as he did not
owe the bill he wrote the firm giving the address of six W. H.
Millers of his acquaintance, telling the firm to dun all of them and
may be in the rounds they would strike the right one; and in same
told them of the writer, but at the same time writing them that he
had no idea it was the writer, as he had an idea that the writer
had never seen in or knew anything of a jewelry store.

MARGARET MILLER.
(Named in Chapter 5, Section 7.)
Article 1. — ^lai-garet Miller, a daughter of Daniel Miller and Su-
saiuiah Woods, his wife, was born in Madison County Ky., De-
cember 39, 1805 (to January 15, 1873).
— . ■- She was a good woman in every sense
of the word; a consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church. February 9, 1826,
she was united in marriage to Edmund
L. Shaclielford (born March 2 6, 1802;
died April 21, 1876), an elegant gen-
tleman and man of affairs, who studied
law and was admitted to the bar in his
young manhood; he afterwards aban-
doned the practice. For a number of
years was Cashier of the Richmond
Branch of the Northern Bank of Ken-
tucky. After the Civil War, in 18 6.5, he
moved to Danville, Kentucky, where they
spent the rest of their days. Their re-
mains lie in the Richmond Cemetery.
Edmund Lyne Shackelford was a native born Kentuckian; his
parents, however, came from Virginia to the State; he was a very
estimable citizen and gentleman of great integrity, wholly devoted
to duty, to his church, to his family, to his friends, to his county,
and to his business; he commanded the
respect of every one with whom he came
in contact. The bank of Richmond, of
which he was so long cashier, had its
building on the corner of Main and Third
streets, now the restaurant of Joe Giun-
chigliani; when he left in 18 65 the coun-
ty lost one of its best citizens. He died
in Danville April 21, 1876; his remains
were brought to Richmond and buried in
the cemetery there, his wife having died
January 15, 1873; her remains had been
also interred in the same place.
In Memoriam: Died in Danville, Ky.,
January 15, 187 3. Mrs. Margaret
Shackelford, wife of Edmund L. Shack-
elford, Esq., in the 68th year of her age.
Mrs. Shackelford was the daughter of
Major Daniel Miller, and was born in
Madison County, Ky., December 29,
1805, and there lived till the autumn of 18 65, when her husband
removed his family to Danville to assume the duties of Cashier of

the First National Bank. She was married on the 6th day of Feb-
ruary, 1826; so that she lived with her husband for the unusual
period of almost forty-seven years. Though the mother of eight
children, she was permitted to see but three of them grow up to
manhood or womanhood. These, one son and two married daugh-
ters, together with their venerable father, now mourn the loss of
her — a loss felt all the more, especially by the latter, because they
had so long traveled life's journey in company. Her sickness was
of only four days' duration. Pneumonia, that dire enemy of the
feeble and the aged, often completes its work of death with start-
ling rapidity. Owing to the nature of her disease, and the suffering
it induced, she was able to commune but little with her family or
friends these few last days. What counsels she might otherwise
have given them, or what expression of her religious feelings she
might have made, we cannot tell. But the evidence of her piety
and of a good hope through grace of a blessed immortality were
not left to depend upon the experiences of the last hour. A life
of faith and charity such as hers, is a testimony to be valued above
all others. "Not every one that saith unto me. Lord, Lord, shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven." Mrs. Shackelford made a public pro-
fession of faith in Christ and united with the Presbyterian Church
at Richmond, in the spring of 1864, and her walk proved her a
follower of "the Son of Man who came not to be ministered unto
but to minister and to give his life a ransom for many." Of Jesus
of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Ghost, it is said,
as we may say of no other, "He went about doing good," Yet, in
a real, though an inferior sense, we may safely predicate the same
of His departed hand-maiden. And though she could not, like Him,
"heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the
people," she had the mind of Christ to minister according to her
ability. This distinguishing trait of her character was admirably
presented by her pastor, the Rev. Dr. McKee, in a most appropriate
funeral discourse from these words, "For David after he had served
his own generation by the will of God fell on sleep." Acts 13:36.
Verily she did serve her generation. She served her family, her
kindred, and the community where she lived, with a self-denial
and a continuance in well-doing rarely equaled and still more rarely
surpassed. Quiet and unostentatious in all her ways, she abounded
in those tender ministries of love which are the true glory of Chris-
tian women. The sick, the poor, the distressed of all classes shared
in her kind and unremitting charities. The writer of this brief
tribute to her worth hath abundant reason to cherish her memory,
and to speak of her goodness. He can never forget her attentions
to the sick and dying of his own household, while he yet had a
household: how her gentle voice and hands ministered to the com-
fort of his most beloved; how she watched with him and his chil-
dren during the weary hours of night, when the life of the patient
sufferer seemed fast ebbing away. In like manner could many oth-
ers bear witness to her modest goodness. But the end hath come —
the end of her serving. She resteth from her labors and her works
do follow her. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter
thou into the joy of the Lord. ' And in that august day when the
Son of Man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, and all nations
be gathered before him, who fitter than thou to stand among them
on his right hand and to hear the King say: "Come, ye blessed
of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foun-
dation of the world: for I was an hungered and ye gave me meat;
^■

was thirsty and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye took
me in; naked and ye clothed me; I was sick and ye visited me; I
was in prison and ye came unto me?"
But though it be well with her, there is another desolate home
on earth. Heavy sorrow weighs down the spirits of the bereaved,
though they sorrow not as those who have no hope. The loss of
a mother, of such a mother, is an irreparable loss. The loneliness
of him, who for almost half a century had her by his side as a sweet
companion and faithful helper, none can fully realize, but those of
a like experience. The desire of his eyes, the wife of his youth,
has been taken from him in his old age. It is a dreadful stroke.
The God of all consolation comfort these mourning hearts and give
them grace to follow her even as she followed Christ. S. G.
Edmund Lyne Shackelford, the husband of Margaret Miller, and
John H. Shackelford, who married Malinda Miller (see Chap. 11),
were sons of George Shackelford and Martha Hockaday, his wife,
who emigrated from Virginia to Kentucky. George Shackelford was
a son of Lyne Shackelford and Elizabeth Taliaferro, his wife. Lyne
Shackelford was a son of John Shackelford and Miss Lyne, his
wife, and John Shackelford was a son of James Shackelford. Mar-
tha Hockaday was a daughter of Edmund Hockaday and Martha
Otey, his wife, and Edmund Hockaday was a son of Edmund Hock-
aday.

and not elsewhere. He died in Danville, Sept. 1, 1880, at the age

cember 16, 1830, she was joined in mar-
riage to John H. Shaclvelford (a brother
to Edmund L. Shaclvelford, who had
married her sister Margaret). He was
born August 29, 1803; died March 22,
1875. See Chap. 10. He was a gentle-
man of splendid breeding, to whom her
father had no personal objection, only he
did not wish for his daughter to marry
any one. She died, her husband surviv-

reared, in the main, by their Aunt Mar-
garet, who became as a mother to them.

was making preparations to enter actively into the farming busi-
ness when suddenly stricken with paralysis, from which he could

COLONEL THOMAS WOODS MILLER.
(Named in Chapter 5, Section 9.)
Article 1. — Colonel Thomas Woods Miller, a son of Daniel Miller and
Susannah AVoods, his wife, was born in Madison County, Ky.,
the 3d day of December 1811; died April 33, 1891.
His appearance in the world made it
none the worse. He was never very ro-
bust, upwards of six feet and slender, a
man and a gentleman, of fine carriage,
tall, erect, respected by all, admired by
many; a stranger to fear, honest and
faithful in every trust; public spirited,
favorable to every needful public and pri-
vate improvement; an affectionate and
good husband, a kind and indulgent
father; a friend and helper of those who
needed help. He married in Madison
County, Ky., June 1, 1841, to Mary Jane
Hocker, a daughter of Colonel Nicholas
Hocker and Nancy Ellison, his wife. (See
Part VIL Chap. 7, Sec. 1-4.) She was

till about the year 1864 in the eastern
part of Madison County, on Muddy Creek,
and there had erected two nice, commo-
dious dwelling houses, and was an extensive farmer during the time,
when he moved to Stanford, Lincoln County, and there engaged in
merchandising, in which he was successful, and there he spent the
remainder of his days, and was the last
survivor of his father's children. He
was no drawback to any community;
aided much in the growth of his town,
where he built several substantial busi-
ness houses and residences. He died
there in 1891, survived by his wife, who
had been afflicted nearly all of their mar-
ried life. She died in 19 05. He was a

CHAPTER 13.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER IRVINE MILLER.
(Named in Chapter 5, Section 10.)
Article 1. — Colonel Christopher Irvine Miller, a son and youngest
child of Daniel >Illler and Susannah Woods, his wife, was bom
near the mouth of Hickory Lick, a branch of Muddy Creek, at
his i>arents' home, December 20, 1813.
He was upwards of six feet and
weighed two hundred pounds. He was
joined in marriage, by Elder Allen Em-
bry, an old Baptist preacher, September
1, 1836, to Talitha Harris, a daughter £^
of Christopher Harris and Sallie Wal-
lace, his wife (see Part III, Chap. 30),
the marriage occurring at the home of
the bride's parents. Of this union
eleven children were born, ten of whom
were raised to maturity. He was a
Colonel of Kentucky Militia; often is-
sued the three days' notices to the mi-
litia to attend the regimental and bat-
talion drills.
Christopher Irvine Miller was very
fond of company and greatly enjoyed
the presence of friends. Until age crept
upon him, he enjoyed the sports of
hunting, such as deer, birds, etc., and
fishing, and so long as deer remained plentiful in the Kentucky
mountains, he would set apart a week or two of every fall which
he would spend in this enjoyment — he was a crack shot with the
rifle and shot gun. No one pitted against
him would return in the evening with
more game in the bag than he. Many
a long winter night at home by a bright
wood fire in the presence of the family
and others have we listened without tir-
ing or getting sleepy to his hunting sto-
ries, which, if printed as told by him,
would be good reading. He was full of
humor.
No one had a kinder heart or cher-
ished his friends more than did he, and
nearly every one were fond of Irvine
Miller. His enemies were few and far
between.
He was a farmer and upon his farm,
near his dwelling, he built a blacksmith
shop, which was provided with everything
that was in that day considered neces-
sary and convenient for the operation of
a first class shop — including a goodly
supply of the best of tools of every sort
and size; his edged tools always found to be sharp and in splendid

«
condition, and he knew how to use them; he was a first class me-
chanic and could make anything from a needle or fish-hook to a
wagon or plow. He never half-way did anything; he went on the
principle that if a thing was worth doing at all it was worth doing
well. His customers, who were many, not only in his own, but in
adjoining counties, had the utmost confidence in him, not only in
his work, but in his word, for his word was his bond and his work
was his reward. He was a hard and constant worker and the
greatest recreation he enjoyed was when on his hunting trips and an
occasional outing, fishing in Station Camp Creek, or attending his
church meetings. He operated his shop actively until just a few
years before his death, then being physically unable to do so. His
shop was known not only over the county, but adjoining counties.
His work had a high reputation. He shod mules by the hundreds
for the Southern market which were in those days driven through
to market. He manufactured plows, wagons and all sorts of farm-
ing utensils, did an immense amount of hOrse shoeing. His cele-
brated turning plow, known as the "Miller Plow," was at that time
the best plow made, and on many occasions given the premium over
all other competitors at the fairs, and had a famous reputation and
ready sale fast as made.
For many years before his death he and his wife were consistent
and beloved members of the old Baptist Church at Flatwoods.
He was beloved, honored and respected by all who knew him,
and at his death, which occurred October 14, 1878, at his Muddy
Creek home, many relatives and friends mourned and lamented.
He was much missed by his neighborhood for years thereafter. His
sufferings, trials and labors have ceased and he is at perfect rest in
the presence of his Maker and Redeemer.
His remains were placed under the sod in the burying plot near
and in front of the residence on the farm lately owned and occu-
pied by the late Elder John M. Park, and stone properly inscribed
marks the grave. His children will cherish his memory as long as
they live.
His wife, Talitha Harris, was born at the home of her parents
on Muddy Creek, in said county of Madison, March 17, 1815. She
survived from the death of her husband until January 2, 1882,
when she passed from time to eternity, this event occurring at the
home of her daughter, Susannah Hume, on Muddy Creek. She had
not been strong and well for several years, was very sick sometime
before her death. She did not fear to meet death, had abiding faith
and trust in her Savior. She and her husband became members of
the Flatwood Church at the same time.
She possessed a strong mind, good judgment, open and free
speech; what she had to say she said it, in plain words, without de-
ceit. Was admired by all her acquaintances. What she said and did
was in the open, unhidden. She was very industrious and no wo-
man could accomplish more with her hands in the same time than
she. She was beneficent and kind, big-hearted, a loving and true
wife, a good mother. She is now asleep in Jesus. It seems hard
to be separated from so good a mother, but the will of God be done.
How consoling to know that her troubles are ended, with the com-
fortable hope that she enjoys the sweet rest of that heavenly home
of which she so sweetly and calmly spoke just before her departure.
Her remains lie under the sod by the side of her husband's.
Mrs. Charles (Mary Miller) Stephens, of Paris, Ky., a daughter
of General John Miller, writes that her "father and his brothers
were well educated," and speaks of their beautiful hand-writing,
104 History and Genealogies
and says: "I remember dear Uncle Irvine, too, wrote a beautiful
hand. I think he was one of the gentlest, loveliest men I ever knew.
Really we love and honor the memories of all our uncles and aunts.
They were a remarkable family, and we honor our wise grand-
parents. Aunt Talitha, I remember, was one of the most genial,
hospitable persons I ever knew, and so kind and sympathetic with
children. She took me home with her once when I was a little girl
— rode behind her on horseback — and in the evening Uncle Irvine
would take the violin from its box and play the jolliest dance music,
and you boys and girls and ourselves would have a happy time —
your mother sitting by and enjoying it all. I recall many happy
pictures of my childhood."
In IS 46 C. I. Miller qualified as Deputy Sheriff for Jacob S.
White, Sheriff of Madison County, Ky.

Section 2. Robert Daniel Miller, a son, second child, born
at home on Drowning Creek, March 4, 18 39. He espoused
the cause of the South in the Civil War of 1S62 and enlisted in the
Confederate Army, Chenault's Regiment, under the command of
Gen. John H. Morgan. In the summer or early fall of 18 62 he,
with two companies of Confederate soldiers, under the tempo-
rary command of Capt. Jesse, proceeded from Tenness':e to Central
Kentucky, and on Monday, September 8, 1862, they came in
contact with about 1,000 Federal soldiers in ambush on the top of
Pine Mountain. Volley after volley of the enemy's balls was
poured into them, killing and wounding several of the company,
and killing nearly all their horses, and completely routing the little
band, running them pell-mell over the rugged cliffs and declivities
of the mountain. In the skirmish Miller's horse was shot and killed
from under him, but he, with Harris Thorpe, Scott Stivers,
Stevens and two Owen County men, his comrades in arms, made
temporarily their escape. But the topography of the country,
strange to them, wild and mountainous, alive with Federal sol-
diers and buskwackers, and becoming very much fatigued, almost
starved, and seeing no possible way of getting safely out, they
very wisely concluded to, and did on the following Wednesday, sur-
render to the home guards, and were paroled. Miller then re-
mained with, and as best he could, ministered to the wants
and comforts of his uncle, John Harris, who had been fatally shot in
the battle, until his death, which occurred in a few days. He then
attended to and saw that his remains were buried in as decent a
manner as possible under the existing circumstances. Thereupon,
he returned home, where he remained about two weeks, when under
exchange, he re-entered the Confederate service, under the gallant
and intrepid Gen. John H. Morgan; was engaged in many daring and
rapid raids, and several severe conflicts; was again captured in
General Morgan's famous raid into the States of Indiana and Ohio,
and carried as a prisoner of war to Camp Morton, near Indianapolis,
Indiana. In his removal from there to the Federal Prison, Camp
Douglas, at Chicago, he made good his escape by jumping from the
train of cars on which the prisoners were aboard, and made his way
under difficulties, back to Madison County, Kentucky, which at that
time was in complete possession of the Federal forces. Arriving
at home late one rainy night, thinly clad, food and raiment were
furnished him by his good mother, when he immediately retired to
a thicket on the place, not even daring to take shelter under the
parental roof, for fear of being recaptured by the enemy and en-
dangering the safety of the liberty or lives of his father and mother,
and being himself disposed of as a spy. Remaining concealed on the
place for about a week, he left and went, accomi)anied by a friend,
through the country to Paris, Ky., and there boarded a train of cars
and was carried by railroad speed to the State of Minnesota, and
there engaged in work for a time, until the opportunity presented it-
self, when he joined a company or wagon train, backed by Federal
troops and crossed the Western plains to the territory of Idaho, the
Indians of the section through which they traveled then being on
the war path, and causing much trouble to the government, having
several fights with the Indians on the way. He remained in the
territories of Idaho and Montana, engaged in prospecting and min-
ing for gold, until the year 1867, when he returned to the home of
his parents.
During his absence from home he had been exposed to many
dangers and hardships; he remained at home something like a year.

and then went and located at Goodland, Newton County, Ind., about
the first of 1868. The next year, towards its close, he returned to
Madison County, Kentucky, and on December 22, 1869, was mar-
ried to Susan J. Barrett, a daughter of Francis Barnett and Miranda
Duncan his wife (who were married Sept. 26, 1844), at the resi-
dence of Coleman Covington, on Muddy Creek, by Elder John M.
Park, an old Baptist preacher. Then he and his bride left for their
home at Goodland, where they lived until the year 1876, when they
returned to near Earl Park, Benton County, Indiana, a distance less
than half a days' horseback ride from the spot where he made his
escape from the Federal soldiers. He lived at near Earl Park for
a number of years and then went with his family to Denver, Colo-
rado, where his wife died. His wife was born March 20, 1857,
and was killed by an accident on an elevator in Denver, Colorado, a
r umber of years since.
He now lives in Woodward County, Oklahoma, about eleven
miles from a little place called Doris, where he has entered and
staked a claim for 160 acres of land, upon which he has lived for
four years, being required by the Government to occupy the same
five years before perfecting his title to the land. Their children:
1. Laura Frances Miller, born Oct. 3, 1870; married J. W.
Horstman, of Denver, Colorado.
2. Miranda Matilda Miller, born Nov. 27, 1871; married E. P.
Worcester; they live in Des Moines, Iowa. Their children:

8. Leah Miller, the youngest, now living in Denver, Colorado.
Section 3. James Christopher Miller, a son, was born at the
John Blanton House, on Downing Creek, Sept. 3, 1841. He favored
the cause of the South and joined the Confederate army, Chenault's
Regiment, under the command of General John H. Morgan, in the
late Civil War of 1862. In that noted raid of the daring Morgan
into the States of Indiana and Ohio, in which his men were in the
saddle twenty-odd days without sleep, only what they got on the
backs of their horses; he was captured at Cheshire, O., and taken as a
prisoner of war, first to the Federal prison in Camp Chase, and
there in that filthy place confined far a time; from there removed
to Camp Douglas, at Chicago, where he remained in prison for eigh-
teen months. When all hope for the success of the Southern cause
was exploded, by taking the oath of allegiance to the Federal Gov-
ernment, he was released from prison and came home. When the
rights of suffrage, which was taken from the Confederates, as rebels,
was finally restored, through the efforts of such men as Gen. Frank
Wolford, his first attempt to vote was under the bayonet, and the
officers of the election refused him a vote, which the courts upheld.
During his service in the army he was in many bold raids un-

der his noted leader, engaged in several battles, and exposed to
all the dangers and hardships incident to such service.
Having learned under his father before entering the war, the
trade of a blacksmith when he came home he followed that as
an occupation until his marriage. After that event he followed
farming some years, when he moved to Northern Indiana, Xewton,
County, where he lived a time and then came back to Madison Coun-
ty, Ky., and engaged again in blacksmithing, following the same
for several years. He tired of that and began farming once more.
He now lives on the old farm where his father lived and died.
September 22, 1869, he was joined in marriage to Mrs. Elizabeth
S. Rayburn, widow of John Rayburn, deceased, and daughter of
Wilson C. N. Broaddas, by Elder John M. Park, at her late home on
Upper Muddy Creek. She was a descendant of the old Virginia

hood he left home and went to Richmond, and was clerk for a
number of years in the grocery store of Ellis & Clay, when the firm
dissolved and continued under the different firm names, and finally
became a partner in a hardware store, which operated some years
and closed. He was inventor and patentee of a churn; also of a
shot and powder canister. Was quite a genius. He left Richmond
and went to Earl Park, Benton County, Indiana, and secured a
partner, A. D. Raub, and they erected a shop for the manufacture
of the shot and powder canister, from which there were no
great returns. He married Sarah Suet; no children were born
to them. He was made a Justice of the Peace of Benton County,
which office he held at the time of his death, in June, 1887. His
remains were buried in the beautiful cemetery at Lawrenceburg,
Indiana. He was well thought of and had a good standing with
the people where he lived. Robert L. Cox, Principal of the Public

Note. Mr. Hume was a son of Larkin Hume and Nancy Mober-
ley, his wife; was an energetic and successful farmer and business
man and accumulated a good estate; was an excellent husband and
a substantial citizen. His wife was no drawback to him, being in-
IK) History and Genealogies
dustrioiis, true and affectionate and liked by all who knew her. To
this union these children were born:
1. Thomas Richard Hume, born July 26, 1874; went in the year
IS — on a visit to the Provine of Canada; was stricken and died
, 18 — , on his way from there home, which event was a
severe shock to his mother, his father having died some years
previous. His remains were forwarded to Richmond, Ky., and
there buried in the cemetery.
2. Nancy Moberley Hume, born Feb. 6, 1876; married Chris-
topher Fogg Chenault, son of Anderson Chenault and Elizabeth
Fogg, his wife. Mr. Chenault is an extentive farmer, owns an
interest in the Elliston Roller Mills, lajge interest at Conway,
Ky., in several thousand acres of land and mills. Has recently
purchased the Stone or Terrell farm in the eastern suburbs of
Richmond. (See Part V, Chap. 13, Sec. 9.) Their children:
1. Elizabeth Susan Chenault.
2. Anderson Hume Chenault.
.3. Mary Emily Chenault.
4. Nancy Woods Chenault, baby.
They live on the Richmond and Irvine Pike, one mile east
of Richmond, on the farm of the late Anderson Chenault,
known as the Miller or Goodloe place.
3. Irvine Miller Hume, born Jan. 18, 1878. He and his brother
George own land and property in partnership and live about two
miles northeast of Richmond and are engaged in farming and
raising and trading in stock.
4. George Larkin Hume, born Jan. 24, 1880. He and his
brother Irvine are partners in business and live together, as stat-
ed in above Section 3.
Their father, Thomas R. Hume died, leaving his wife and chil-
dren surviving and in good circumstances, and his remains were
buried in the Richmond Cemetery. His widow afterwards married
Algin S. Hisle, and they lived on her dowry on Muddy Creek, the
old Hume home, until the sudden death of Mr. Hisle, Oct. 29, 1906,
in the 67th year of his age.
Mr. Hume was a splendid man, a good farmer, stock raiser,
economical, kind, good-hearted; an indulgent, generous and affec-
tionate husband and father; a splendid provider for his family, and
when he died the whole community felt the loss of a good and use-
ful citizen, neighbor, relative and friend. He was exceedingly fond
of his wife and children, with whom he took great pleasure, fond-
ling his little children on his knees and in his lap, and he was
never too tired to enjoy their climbing and pulling over him.
Section 8. William Harris Miller, a son, was born at the home
on Muddy Creek, Oct. 22, 1852. He was raised on the farm until
eighteen years of age, when, on the 28th of December, 1870, his
father secured him a position as Deputy Clerk of the Madison
County Court, under his cousin, George D. Shackelford, in which
capacity he served till the death of Mr. Shackelford, which occurred
the latter days of May, 187 4, about three months before his time
of office expired, and his brother, James T. Shackelford, was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy and the subject was retained as Deputy
under the latter. There is, however, excepted from the above
period of service under George D. Shackelford one year, from Au-
gust, 1872, to August, 1873, in which time he was Deputy for
Charles K. Oldham, Sheriff of Madison County.
In 1874, his cousin, George Shackelford, being in very poor
History and Genealogies 117
healttt, and unable to make another race for office, at the solicita-
tion of his said cousin and others, W. H. Miller, who had just ar-
rived at the age of twenty-one years, became a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for the office of Clerk of the Madison Coun-
ty Court, but at the primary election, held in May of that year, in
which there were four aspirants, he was defeated, Mr. James Tevis
securing the nomination.
At the regular election in August of the same year, 1874, Wil-
liam M. Embry was elected Clerk of the Circuit Court, and offered
W. H. Miller the Deputy Clerkship, which he accepted, and on the
17th of August, 1S74, he left the County Court office and qualified
and acted as Deputy Circuit Court Clerk until April 15, 1879. Em-
bry having died in office on March 9, 1880, before the expiration
of his term in August of that year, on the 11th of March, the Hon-
orable Joseph D. Hunt, Judge of said court, of his own volition,
issued to said Miller a certificate in this language, to-wit:
"I, J. D. Hunt, Circuit Judge of the Tenth Judicial District of
Kentucky, of which the counties of Madison and Fayette compose
a part, do hereby certify that William H. Miller has been examined
by the Clerk of the Fayette Circuit Court, under my supervision,
touching his qualifications for the office of Clerk of the Circuit
Court, and that he is qualified for that office.
"And, whereas, the 7)ffice of Clerk of the Madison Circuit Court
has become vacant by the death of William M. Embry, late Clerk
of said Court, I do hereby appoint the said William H. Miller, of
Madison County, to be Clerk of the Madison Circuit Court during the
remainder of the term for which said William M. Embry was elected.
"Witness my hand as Judge of the Tenth Judicial District of
Kentuckv, this eleventh dav of March, 1880.
J.D.HUNT,
Judge 10th Dist. Ky."
Under which certificate said Miller qualified by taking the oath
and executing the bond by law required, and served as Clerk for
the remainder of Embry's term.
In a heated Democratic primary contest he received the nom-
ination, and in Atigust, 1880, under that nomination was elected
Clerk of the Circuit Court for the term of six years, qualified and
acted as such. Was elected again in 1886 for another term of six
years, qualified and acted as such. Was defeated for the nomina-
tion for the same office at the primary held preceding the regular
election in August, 1892, by his nephew, S. H. Thorpe, who had
been his deputy and lived with him for a number of years; but un-
der the provision of the new State Constitution recently before
adopted, his term was continued from August, 1892, till the 1st
of January, 189 3, when his successor took possession of the office.
He worked as deputy three years in the County Court and five
years in the Circuit Court Clerk's office, and was Chief Clerk of the
Circuit Court nearly thirteen years, equaling twenty-one years of
hard service in the two courts.
In March, 1894, after being out of the Clerk's office for a little
over a year, he was appointed United States general storekeeper
and guager in the revenue servif^e and, later on promoted in said
service to the office of Deputy Collector under Hon. Chas. H. Rodes,
Collector of Internal Revenue, and served through the remainder
of Mr. Rodes' term, who was succeeded by Hon. John W. Yerkes, and
he continued as deputy under Mr. Yerkes till January 1, 1899, when
he resigned.
118 Ilisionj and Genealogies
During Mr. Rodes' incumbency the office was located at Rich-
mond, Ky.: when Mr. Yerlves became Collector the office, which
was comfortably quartered in a fine, substantial, well fixtured and
furnished government building, built purposely for that, the U. S.
Court and Postoffice was, by the political influence of the Collector,
removed, with all the records, etc., to Danville, the home of Mr.
Yerkes, in rented quarters, which removal for a time exercised the
people of old Madisan.
On the 27th day of February, 1884, the subject here was married
to Katherine Oldham, a daughter of William Kavanaugh Oldham
and his wife, Jacintha Catherine Brown, at the residence of her
said father on Otter Creek, near Richmond, Ky., by Rev. Seneca X.
Hall, a Methodist preacher. (See Part VI, Chap. 21, and Part VIII,
Chap. 14, Sec. 7.) Of this union there was no issue.
Section 9. Mary Eliza Miller, a daughter, born at the home on
Muddy Creek, Jan. 29, 1855; lived with her mother till she broke
up housekeeping in 18 — , and then made her home with her sister
Susan and brother William: was living with her said sister when
she was married, the 8th day of ^May, 1890, to .John W. Rupert, a
son of Laban Rupert and Elizabeth Tribble, his wife. Mr. Rupert
has, for the greater part of his life, been engaged at different places
as salesman for merchants. They lived awhile at Elliston, where
he sold goods, and at Rice's Station, doing the same, and then moved
to Richmond, where he was employed as clerk in a store. Clerking
a number of years in the dry goods house of E. V. Elder, which place
he gave up in January, 1905, sold out his effects and went to
Woodward County, Oklahoma, and there remained until October,
19 05, and becoming dissatisfied with the country, sold out and
moved back to Kentucky, now living in Conway, Rockcastle Coun-
ty, Ky. Since the above was written they have removed to Berea,
where he is merchandizing in his own name. They have no children
born of them.
Section 10. Michael Woods Miller, a son, born at the home on
Muddy Creek, Feb. 13, 1857. His father died in October, 1878,
mother surviving, with whom he remained until she broke up house-
keeping in 1881, and lived with his sister Susannah until the
day of , 18 — , when he was married to Ella Hogan, daugh-
ter of Dr. Hugh W. Hogan and Laura Broaddus, his wife. (See
Part I, Chap. 13, Sec. 3. Note.) After his marriage he located at
Elliston, where he acquired a home and built a blacksmith shop,
which he operated a number of years, and then abandoned to accept
employment in the Elliston Mills, then owned by W. T. Griggs, after-
wards succeeded by the Elliston Mill Company, wherein he is still
employed. Recently he united by experience and baptism with the
United Baptist Church at Waco, Ky. To them these children have
been born:
1. Eugene Miller, born the 18th day of September. 1886.
2. Christopher Hogan Miller, born 6th day of December, 1888.
Section 11. Elizabeth Frances Miller, a daughter, and the
youngest child, was born at the home on Muddy Creek, July 15,
1864. Sister Bettie as we all called her, was the baby girl, born
when mother was nearly fifty years old, and all of the family were
very fond of her: she had a sweet disposition, was generous and
kind-hearted. In May, 18 82, when in her eighteenth year, without
previous notice, she eloped with and was married the 8th of the
Ilistari/ and Gcnralof/irs 119

CHAPTEE 14.
COLONEL JOHX MILLER.
(Named in Section 6, Chapter 3, Part I.)
Article 1. — Colonel John >Iiller, a son of Robert Miller and Ann
Lynn, his wife, mentioned in Cliapter 3, was born in Albemarle,
Nelson or Orange County, Virginia, July 1, 1750.
He was married in Albemarle County, Virginia, March 20, 177 4,
to Jane Delaney, and he died September 8, 1806. His wife was
born January 1, 1751, and died March 13, 1844, living to the age
of 93 years past. Her mother was Miss Durrett.
In the fall of 1784 Colonel John Miller, with his wife and young
children who had been born before that date, left home and friends
in Albemarle and moved to Kentucky, which at that time formed a
part of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and settled on the head
waters of a prong of Otter Creek, where the city of Richmond now
is, and acquired and owned a considerable body of land there, upon
which he put valuable and lasting improvements — building the first
house that was built there, and where he ever after made his home
till his death in 1806. His house was built on the spot where the
Northern Presbyterian Church stands, and his spring was just east,
near the present Zaring Mill and Bicycle Shop.
He was commissioned by Patrick Henry, Esq., Governor of Vir-
ginia, as Justice of the Peace, and the first Order Book of the Mad-
ison County Court, page 48, date June 26, 1787, shows that "Robert
Rodes and John Miller, gentlemen, named in the commission of the
Peace for the County, came into court and took the oath of fidelity
to the Commonwealth and the oath of Justice of the Peace and of
Oyer and Terminer."
The first court of the County of Madison was held at the house
of George Adams, on Tuesday, the 22d day of August, 1786, as ap-
pears from the first entry in the first Order Book of the county,
commencing on page 1. A copy of which is here presented:
"At the house of George Adams, in the County of Madison, on
Tuesday, the twenty-second day of August, in the year of our Lord
One thousand seven hundred and eighty-six.
"A commission of the Peace, and of Oyer an:l Terminer from
His Excellency, Patrick Henry, Esquire, Governor cf the Common-
wealth of Virginia, directed to George Adams, John Snoddy, Chris-
topher Irvine, David Gass, Jas. Barnett, John Bowles (or Boyle), Jas.
Thompson, Archibald Woods, Nicholas George, and Joseph Kennedy,
Gentlemen, constituting them Justices of the Peace, and of Oyer
and Terminer in and for the said County of Madison, was produced
I'^'i Histori/ and Genealogies
and read. Whereupon the said John Snoddy and Christopher Irvine
administered the oath of fidelity to the Commonwealth, and the
oath of a Justice of the Peace, and of Oyer and Terminer to George
Adams, Gent, who then administered the said oaths to the said
John Snoddy, Christopher Irvine, David Gass, James Barnett, John
Bowles (or Boyle), Archibald Woods, Nicholas George, and Joseph
Kennedy, Gent., and thereupon a court was held for the said County
of Madison. Present." (Here naming the Justices aforesaid.)
Note — The words "Oyer and Terminer" meaning a hearing and
determining.
At this date (August 22, 1786) this name, "John Bowles," ap-
pears in the record as one of the Justices of the Peace, and it so ^'
appears at every subsequent court held until Tuesday, Oct. 24, 1786, /^
when the name is written for the first time in the record "John
Boyles," and the letter "s" should have been omitted, for he signed
his name to documents "John Boyle." A deposition given by him,
Aug. 30, 1806, to which he signed his name "John Boyle," is in
words and figures as follows:
DEPOSITION OF JOHN BOYLE.
"In pursuance of an order of the Worshipful Court of Madison
County directing us to call upon witness to establish the calls of
an entry made in the name of John Mounce, for four hundred acres
lying on Hayes Fork of Silver Creek, agreeable to said order, we
called upon John Boyle, Sen'r, and being on the ground, the said
Deponent deposeth and saith by way of interrogatives:
Question by John Kincaid: How long was it since you made the
improvement, and who was in company with you?
Answer: I think it was in the year 1779, and in the month of
May, and Hugh Seper was in company with me.
Question by same: Did not John Mounce, Yelverton Peyton,
David Miller and myself — that is John Kincaid — come with you to
this place on our way to Boonesborough?
Answer: Yes, I think in the month of June following I was
here in company with the above-mentioned persons.
Question by same: What did you do with this improvement?
Did you give it to anyone?
Answer: Yes, I gave it to John Mounce.
Question by same: Did Mounce make any addition to the im-
provement, at the time you gave it to him, by marking other trees?
Answer: I think he did mark some trees or saplings.
Question: Are you certain that this is the same Improvement
that you first made for Black, and afterwards gave it to Mounce?
Answer: Yes.
Question by same: How far is this Improvement from the mouth
of the branch that we went up on our route to Boonesborough?
Answer: I think about 25 or 30 steps.
Question by same: Is there any appearance of the old Improve-
ment visible at this day?
Answer: Yes. I think there is upon two trees.
Question by same: How far is this Improvement from the Im-
provement below, called Mounces, on what is called Mounce's Fork?
Answer: I suppose it is about a quarter, as near as I can guess,
without measuring.
Question by same: How far is it from that to my own Improve-
ment down the creek?
/fishiri/ inid (rcncalogies 121
«
Answer: I reckon it is about a half mile, as near as I can guess,
without measuring.
Question by same: Can you describe the ground where my Im-
provement stood, or was made?
Answer: I can. It was in a good smart bend in the creel<, in
a flat bottom near the creek.
Question by same: Was not the marks made on Mounce's
Branch (towit), the two first letters of Mounce's, and my own name,
made as marks of a conditional line, as well as an Imrrovement for
Mounce to hold land?
Answer: The branch was the conditional line between them,
and, as well as I recollect, they both marked the two first letters
of their names there.
Question by same: Was not Mounce to run up the creek, and I
down from that place for quantity?
Answer: Yes.
Question by same: Was you with Mounce when he laid in his
claim before the Commissioners and obtained a certificate?
Answer: Yes, I was.
Question by same: Was not this the very land for which he
obtained a certificate?
Answer: I think the land he intended to hold was from Mounce's
Fork up the creek.
Question by same: Was not this place from the intersection of
the two forks so remarkable that a man who was formerly acquaint-
ed with it might know it again?
Answer: Yes. I should think so.
Question by same: What branch was it that you alluded to that
you said we went up on our way to Boonesborough?
Answer: The same that mouths in just above this Improvement
and comes down through John Kincaid's Improvement or plantation.
And further this Deponent further saith not.

Continuation of John Miller's Will:
"I constitute and appoint my friends, William Irvine, Robert'
Rodes, Executors of this my last will and testament. I empower
them to make convey — for my lands which at the time of my death
I may have sold, and unconveyed, either by written or verbal con-
tract. I, also, empower them to divide my negroes according to
the division of them herein made, as equal as may be. I do, also,
empower them to sell and convey, as to them may seem best, all
my lols in the town of Richmond, and to dispose of any part of my
personal estate, if necessary, to raise money for the payment of my
debts, and the residue, if any, from the sale of the lots, and col-
lections of my debts, to pay the same to my wife. I declare my wife
is not to give security for the keeping of the property left her, nor
is she to be answerable for its depreciation in value, etc. And,
whereas, I have at sundry times given to my children who have
grown to years of maturity, a negro, or negroes, etc., I do now ratify
and confirm to them all and every gift which I may before have
made, and do declare that when I have delivered them any negro
without an express stipulation to the contrary, that it is to be con-
sidered a gift.
All my estate left after the death of my wife, and not herein
124 History and Genealogies
otherwise disposed of, I give to my daughters, Anna Reid, Elizabeth
Kavanaugh, Jane Lackey, and Frances Miller, to be equally divided
between them, and I wish it to be understood that whereas I have by
deed given to my daughter, Elizabeth Kavanaugh, and her heirs, a
part of a lot in the town of Richmond of the value of fifty pounds,
now unless the said gift can be rescinded, and the said lot or the
value thereof to be equally divided between the brothers and sisters,
she is not to receive any part of my estate as last above mentioned
devised to Anna Reid, Elizabeth Kavanaugh, Jane Lackey, and
Frances Miller. Shall each of them have received the sum of fifty
pounds, should there be any balance, it is then to be equally divided
between them.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and affixed
my seal this 24th day of February, 1806.

Col. Richard X. White, of Richmond, Ky., Nov. 27, 1867. He
died Oct. 21, 1885, leaving many friends. Their children:
1. Mary Miller; married Clarence E. Woods, the present
Mayor of Richmond. She died childless and Mr. Woods mar-
ried again, Mattie Chenault. (See above Sec. 2, and Part H,
Chap. 13, Sec. Z.)
2. Richard White Miller, a very popular man; member of
the Richmond bar, and politician; highly educated, polished
gentleman. He represented Madison County in the State
Legislature in 1904-5; elected on the Democratic ticket, was
re-elected, and was at his death her Representative. Was
defeated for Speaker of the House, but was a formidable
contestant for the position. He was a gifted man and made
a most prominent member. He was one of the foremost
orators of the state, and contended earnestly, eloquently and
fearlessly for his conception of the right. Besides, he was
Chairman of the Democratic Committee of Madison County;
member of the State Central Committee of the party of the
Eighth District of Kentucky; was the House delegate to the
National Divorce Congress; was in a high degree honest in
the discharge of duties. Many complimentary expressions
of Richard White Miller appeared in the state press. He
was the candidate from Madison County for a seat in the
United States Congress as a Democrat from the Eighth Dis-
trict of Kentucky when he was stricken with creeping paral-
ysis, after delivering a telling speech at Stanford, Lincoln
County, Ky., on the 2Sth of June, 1906, from which he never
rallied, and died the 2 9th of June, and was buried in the
Richmond Cemetery Sunday evening, July 1, 19 06, the ser-
vices being conducted by the orders of Elks and Knights
Templar, and Rev. J. Addison Smith, Presbyterian divine,
from the residence of Mrs. William M. Irvine, on Lancaster
Avenue. A large concourse of people, relatives and friends
from Madison County and other sections of the state, and
from other states, accompanied the remains to their last
resting place. The loss of Richard White Miller was felt by
the whole state. It seemed that a brilliant future was in
front of him, when his career on earth was brought to a close
by death. His wife was absent visiting friends and relatives
in the Southland when Mr. Miller was stricken, and did not
reach his bedside till two hours after life was extinct; he
died with his hand in that of his pastor, the Rev. Smith, his
talk to whom just before his dissolution was most beautiful;
his faith in his Redeemer was manifested and he did not
fear death. His wife was Miss Sue Patton (see Part II,
Chap. 5, Sec. 1), a great-granddaughter of Colonel David
Irvine, the second Clerk of the Madison County and Circuit
Courts (successor to his father, William Irvine, the first
Clerk). They have a child:

Madison County, Ky., and second, July 29, 1806, in the same coun-
ty, to Miss Anna Woods, daughter of Archibald Woods and Mourn-
ing Shelton, his wife. (See Part II, Chap. 8, Sec. 7.)
On the ground where the beautiful Richmond Cemetery is situ-
ated, in the year 1800, Thomas Miller killed a wolf. In about the
Tllsfori/ and Gcnralogies i^o
•
year 1818 he and his brother John emigrated to Alabama and set-
tled near New Market, in Madison County, where Thomas Miller
established his home, and his home was called "Hickory Flat." One
writer states that "he was Representative in the Legislature and
State Senator for sixteen consecutive terms, and declined to make
the race for the seventeenth."
Dr. W. G. Norris, a distinguished citizen of New Market, in his
history of the town says: "Thomas Miller, a brother of John Miller,
settled four miles north of New Market at an early day. The two
brothers, although dissimilar in many respects, were both men of
note and worth. Each of them reared large families, all of whom
were highly intellectual and no taint or stain of dishonor ever at-
tached to any of them. Both brothers were strong Democrats.
Thomas Miller served in the Alabama Legislature from 182 3 to
182 7 inclusive. Nature seemed to have marked him as a favorite.
He was tall and well poportioned, with a head and face which the
ablest artist would pronounce a masterpiece. His mental powers
were equal to his physical. He was not a lawyer, yet was always
ready in thought and language — exhibiting a vigor of mind and a
degree of culture that did him credit. He was one of the best of
neighbors. If a near resident became sick, he invariably attended
to his wants, and if needed, sent his horses, hands, plows and hoes
and worked out the crop in a day. His wife, Anna Miller, was a
famous house-wife and a good physician in ordinary cases. He was
a life-long Democrat, and died when about 7 0 years of age, leaving
a bright record behind him. His son, William G. Miller, was a
member of the House in 1845, and was a worthy son of a noble sire.
He went to Bastrop, Texas, to live."
Thomas Miller was not exceedingly large, but was of a stout and
powerful build and very muscular, and a stranger to fear. The story
is told that on one occasion, whilst living near New Market, a man
unfriendly to Mr. Miller, placed himself behind the front door of a
store in New Market, and as Miller entered struck him over the head
with a club, but failed to stagger him; nearby was an open tub of
tar, and Miller grabbed his assailant, and with miraculous strength,
thrust him head foremost into the tub of tar. The men present
lifted the man from the tub and washed the tar off of him, and he
had no further desire to molest Thomas Miller.
The children of the first marriage of Thomas Miller and Sallie
Adams were two, the name of one we cannot furnish:
1. John Adams Miller; married Edna Bridges.
2. Name unknown.
The children of his second marriage to Anna Woods were:
3. Woods S. Miller; married Nancy Jane Miller, daughter of
Joseph Miller and Susan Kennedy, his wife. (See Sec. 8.)
4. Thomas Miller; married Caroline Douglas, of Sumner Coun-
ty, Tennessee. Their children:
1. Anna Miller; married Mr. Bunton, of Texas.
2. Mary Miller.
5. Garland Burleigh Miller, was born in 1816. He was edu-
cated in Richmond, Ky. He married Sarah R. Dismukes, of Sum-
ner County, Tenn., of the fine old Revolutionary family. After
his marriage he established his home in Fayetteville, Lincoln
County, Tenn., where his children were born and reared. He died
at his home in 18 60, where his wife continued to live until her
death in 1882. She was a first cousin to the wives of Rev. Good-
13(5 Histori/ and Genealogies
loe Woods and Wm. Woods, two brothers who married sisters.
(See Part II, Chap. 10, Sec. 8 and 11.) Their children:
1. Sarah M. Miller, born in 1841. She married Rush Wil-
liamson, a son of Colonel Robert Williamson, of Sumner Coun-
ty, Tenn. Rush Williamson was a Confederate soldier under
(jeneral N. B. Forrest, and served through the entire war, and
received three severe wounds. Her postoffice is Pulaski, Ten-
nessee. Their children:
1. Robert Garland Williamson; died without issue.
2. George Estill Williamson; died in infancy.
3. William M. Williamson: married Sadie Neville, of
Trinity, Alabama. His home is in La Grange, Georgia, and
is of the firm of C. D. Smith & Co., railroad contractors, who
build roads both North and Sotith. Issue, one son:
1. Raybtirn W^illiamson; died in infancy.
2. Thomas K. Miller, born in 1843. He enlisted in the Con-
federate army in the Civil War — the third enlistment in Lin-
coln Cotinty, Tennessee. He served in the First Tennessee In-
fantry with Colonel Peter Tanseyk, two years in Virginia, and
was then transferred to the command of General Forest. He
made a gallant soldier. He was captured in Tennessee in the
fall of 18 63, as one of General Forest's scouts, was tried by
court martial and sentenced to be hanged, though he had on
a full Confederate uniform and not a paper or plan on his
person, still the court condemned him. His mother went im-
mediately to Washington to try and exert some influence with
President Lincoln in his behalf, but she failed, though she re-
mained two weeks. His sister, Mrs. Sallie Miller Williamson,
remained in Nashville with him, and by the assistance of some
of her father's old fi'iends she succeeded at the last hour in
having him reprieved until further orders by General Thomas,
the commanding general at Nashville. They offered him life
and liberty if he would take the oath and pilot them through
Lincoln County where he lived, but he firmly refused and said:
"If I had forty lives, I would give every one before I would
betray a friend or be a traitor to my country." At that moment,
his sister, who loved him dearly, and he so helpless, seemingly,
in the hands of the enemy, almost lost her patriotism. He still
was left in close confinement.
After a few months his mother returned to Washington City,
and with a mother's pleading and prayers President Lincoln
relented, and the last document President Lincoln ever signed
was a pardon for Thomas Miller, which he was to have handed
to his mother at 9 o'clock the next morning: but that night
President Lincoln was assassinated, and President Johnson
would never let Mrs. Miller have the pardon for her son, though
she remained in Washington City three weeks longer.
In the spring of 18 65, Mrs. Williamson, sister to the con-
demned man, went to Nashville to see Governor Brownlow.
After entreating with him as a sister could, tinder such circum-
stances, the Governor asked of the President the pardon of
Thomas Miller without the oath of allegiance, and he gave it.
About the time of the surrender Thomas Miller was free from
that long, close confinement, which had almost wrecked his
life. In the fall of that year he went to Texas and settled near
Bastrop, and married Miss Lou Bell, of Bastrop, and engaged
in the mercantile business in Webberville, and there in his
Histori/ and Genealogies 137
«
store, in 1867, he was assaulted with shotguns and pistols by
two or three of his deadly enemies and was killed, though he
fought for his life. He left no issue. Thomas Miller was ab-
solutely fearless.
3. George D. Miller, born in 1845; died in 1852, in the
seventh year of his age.
4. Garland Burleigh Miller, born in 1847; died in 1902. He
enlisted in the Confederate army in the fall of 186:3 with his
brother Thomas, at the time of his enlistment being only
fourteen years of age, and served under General Forest, and
remained until the surrender, and made a gallant soldier. He
married in Fayetteville, Lincoln County, Tenn., Mary (Mamie)
Gardner, daughter of Dr. R. C. Gardner, formerly of the firm
of Gardner Brothers, of Nashville, Tenn., and after the war
of the firm of Evans, Gardner & Co., of New York. The Gard-
ner family was one of the best of Tennessee. In the fall of
1865 Garland Burleigh Miller went with his brother Thomas to
Texas. He settled in Galveston and entered a strong, reliable
business house in Galveston, doing a general commission, for-
warding and receiving business, as clerk, in which he continued
for several years, until he rose to be a member of the firm,
and before his death, which occurred in February, 1902, he
had amassed quite a fortune. In the great Galveston storm
his financial loss was heavy. They had six children:
1. Garland Burleigh Miller; unmarried; Treasurer of the
Falfurrias Immigration Company, Home Office, Falfurrias,
Texas.
2. Richard Gardner Miller; married Martha Terrill, of
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 25, 1905; she died recently. He is

1. Richard Gardner Miller, born Aug. 20, 1906; the
mother died in October following.
3. William Goodloe Miller; died in infancy.
4. Mary Gardner Miller; married. Oct. 29, 1902, E. C.
Lasater, of Falfurrias, Texas, an enterprising young man and
owner of a fine cattle ranch near Falfurrias, and is interested
in the State Bank, Cotton, Gin and Ice Factory, and has
planted an Orange Nursery, the first in the state of Texas.
Mr. Ed C. Lasater, the founder of Falfurrias, Texas — once
the hunting-ground of the Lepans, the most docile and peace-
ful of the Indian tribes in the state, until driven away by the
more ferocious and warlike Apaches and Comanches, who in
turn were driven out by the adventurous Spaniards, who
came over from Mexico to settle the country, subdued the
Indians, built missions, called the land and cattle their own,
and embarked in pastoral and agricultural pursuits in a more
or less haphazard manner, until in due course of evolution
these lands were acquired by the more far-seeing and thrifty
American stockmen, who transformed the open and bound-
less prairies into huge and limitless pastures and by scien-
tific methods improved the Texas Longhorns by blooded
breeds, making stock raising more profitable, and bred up
the Texas ponies by thoroughbred horses, evolving a breed
that retains the hardiness of the Texas bronco with all the
qualities of standard bred horses. This section has been
opened for settlement to the thrifty husbandman, and where
only a few years ago, and even now, thousands of cattle are
roaming at large, hundreds of families already have — and
138 Ilistonj (inil (rcncaJof/icx
thousands more will — within the next few years, come to
establish prosperous and happy homes that will make this
section flourish as but few others will be able to do. The
owner of this vast domain, Mr. Ed C. Lasater, one of the
cattle kings of Texas, and one of the most intelligent and
successful breeders of cattle and horses, who knew the rich-
ness of the soil and the health-giving properties of the cli-
mate, long foresaw that this section was destined to become
the garden spot of the United States. Their children:
1. Albert I^asater.

of her father and educated in a convent in New York: when grown
she would not leave it, but took the veil, and last I knew she had

' «
I have never heard the name except the three — mother's broth-
er, Khleber; my brother, Khleber, and his son, Khleber). She
said grandpa loved to read and named Uncle Khleber for a
great general in Napoleon Bonaparte's army, who he admired

grew to manhood, and there married his first wife, Elizabeth
Waddy (who had in her veins a strain of Cherokee blood), about
the year 1827. She only lived a few years and died in New Mar-
ket, leaving one son. On the 14th of September, 1839, William
Brown Miller married the second time, Minerva Barnes, of Mad-
ison County, Ky. She died Sept. IS, 1856, in Dallas, Texas, leav-
ing seven children. On the 2d of August, 1860, William Brown
Miller married the third time, Mrs. Emma Dewey Miller, widow
of M. M. Miller, of Cadiz, Ohio; unto them were born three chil-
dren. William Brown Miller, Senior, died Jan. 4, 1899. He was
nearly ninety-two years old at the time of his death and his es-

History and Genealogies 143
wife, Emma Dewey Miller, only survived him two and a half
months. She died March 17, 1899. The last Mrs. Miller's pater-
nal grandmother was a granddaughter of the famous Lord Chan-
cellor Hyde.
William B. Miller, Senior, emigrated to Texas in 1846 and set-
tled in the wilderness five miles south of the present city of Dal-
las, where he established a home, "Millermore," and a farm
cleared — and acre after acre added, until a large domain was
the proud possession of this pioneer of early Texas. He lived to
the ripe old age of ninety-one years and six months and died sur-
rounded by his family and in the arms of Uncle Arch Miller, a
faithful ex-slave. He now lies sleeping his last sleep in the family
burial ground of the old home.
He left behind him the greatest of all heritages to his sons and
daughters — a stainless name and life. The Dallas Morning News
of Thursday, Jan. 5, 1899, published in its columns the following:
"A pioneer passes away. Death at the "Old Homestead " yes-
terday of William B. Miller. A landmark of early times. He was
born in Kentucky early in the century. A few leaves from the
history of his life:
"Mr. William B. Miller, one of the pioneers of Dallas County,
died yesterday at the "Old Homestead," south of Oak Cliff. He
was one of the ancient landmarks of Dallas County, was known
as "Uncle Billy Miller," and in the days before the war owned a
large number of slaves and a large tract of land. In fact, was a
large land owner at the time of his death. "Uncle Billy" Miller,
James M. Patterson, and Judge Hord, of Oak Cliff, liave been
regarded of late years as the three surviving pioneers of the
North Texas of other days. The triumvirate was shattered yes-
terday when Mr. Miller passed away. The following facts are
gleaned from the "History of Dallas County," published in 1892:
"William B. Miller, a pioneer of Dallas County ,was born in
Madison County, Kentucky, in 1807, the second of seven children
born to John and Mary Brown Miller, natives of Kentucky. The
father moved to Madison County, Alabama, in 1818, and opened
up a farm, and his death occurred in that state in 1846. His
wife survived him until after the war. William B. Miller was
reared to farm life and educated in the public schools of Madison
County, and also at the Academy of Huntsville, Alabama. He
subsequently rented land and engaged in farming, but in the
year 1834 began merchandising in New Market, Ala., which he
followed two years, when, on account of the Henry Clay Bankrupt
Law he failed in business. He then moved to Tennessee and again
engaged in farming for ten years, after which, in 1847, * * he
came to Dallas County, settling in Precinct No. 4. In 185 6 he
bought 562 acres of land, but later sold seventy acres for $30
an acre, and afterward bought two acres back, giving therefor
$12,500. He was married in Madison County, Alabama, in 1833,
to Elizabeth Waddy, a native of that state, whose ancestry on one
side is traceable back to the Cherokee Indians, noblest specimen
of their race. By this marriage there was one child, Charelaus,
who married and settled in the Cherokee Nation in the Indian
Territory: he was a gallant Colonel in the Confederate army from
Texas, and was known as Crill Miller. His mother died in Ala-
bama in 1835, and in 1837, the subject of this sketch married
Minerva Barnes. She died in 1856, after having five children,
viz., Alonzo, who died in 1855; Martha, who married W. C. Leon-
ard, of Kaufman County; Mary, who became the wife of Mr.
14-1- Ilistorji (ind (jcneal agios
Guess; Elizabeth, who married John Edmonson, and Susan, who
married Dr. Ewing, of this city. In 18 50 Mr. Miller chose for
his third wife Mrs. Madison M. Miller, of Dallas. Three children
were the result of this marriage: Charles, J. H., and Minnie
Miller, the latter the wife of State Senator Phil Barry Miller, of
this city. For more than forty-five years deceased was engaged
in farming in Dallas County, and was recognized as one of the
leading and progressive citizens of the community. Of late years,
owing to advanced age and feeble health, he led a quiet life, leav-
ing the management of his farm to his children. In politics he
was an uncompromising Democrat, and had began voting the
ticket upward of seventy years ago. He was a Southerner of the
old regime, and the hospitality of ante-bellum days was a feature
of life at the "Old Homestead," which is located five miles south
of Dallas. He lived to the ripe old age of 91 years, and died re-
spected by all who knew him. The funeral will take place this
afternoon from the "Old Homestead."
The issue of his first marriage to Elizabeth Waddy:
1. Charelaus Miller (commonly called "Criir'),was born Oct.
16, 1829. Young Charelaus lived with his grandmother Miller
until his father's second marriage to Miss Minerva Barnes,
Sept. 11, 1839. He was married to Mary E. Walker, of Searcy,
Arkansas, about ISCl, and they reared a large family. Chare-
laus Miller, Senior, getting a large grant of land for himself
and children in the Indian Territory, on account of the Cher-
okee strain on his mother's side, sold his Texas interests and
moved to the Territory in 1887, where he engaged in farming
and cattle raising, and where he was residing at the time of
his death, June 4, 1892. Each one of his children inherited
five hundred acres of land in the Territory besides his own
share. Mary E. Walker, his wife, died March, 1901. Charelaus

Section 8. Joseph Miller, the eighth child of Colonel John
Miller and Jane Dulaney his wife, was born Maj' 15, 1785. He
married Susan Kennedy, Sept. 17 1807, she was born Sept. 17
1783. They emigrated in about the year 1816, from Madison
County, Ky., and settled near Gallatin in Sumner County, Tenn-
essee. The old dwelling house of General Joseph Miller, in Gal-
latin was built of grey stone, it is even now a superb old stone
structure though stripped of surrounding great, glorious forest,
and cracked as it is by the Earthquake of 1812. The Federals
cut all the trees during the war, and it looks so alone and superbly
dreamy. All the out houses and cabins were of stone too. It is
now occupied by Samuel E. Lackey and his wife, Susan Kennedy
Alexander, and family.
Kleber Miller, now dead, had a hammer of General Joseph
Miller one his father Colonel John Miller, had at the battle of York-
town during the Revolutionary War. Another member of the
family owned some silver spoons with the Dulaney Crest on them,
that were brought from Ireland.
The children of General Joseph Miller and Susan Kennedy
his wife were:
1. Andrew K. Miller; born Aug. 24, 1810; died Feb. 7, 1853.
He married Elizabeth B. Halloway, Oct. 18, 1832. Mrs. Eliza-
beth B. Halloway Miller, only passed away a few years ago. She
was simply adored by her family. Andrew K. Miller died when
still a rather young man, leaving three children, viz:
1. Susan Kennedy Miller; born Sept. 2 18 34, married
Elbridge G. Seawell, of Lebanon, Tennessee. She is now
seventy years of age, but is capable, so alert, so cheerful
and gifted, that she is a delight to all who know her.
Mrs. Nannie S. Boyd, her daughter writes of this family:
"A long law suit about property rather separated us
from many of our Miller relations, and different tastes
seemed to widen the breach, but I am very fond of many
of them. For some reason our branch of the family is
rather strenuous. The days are never long enough, and
neither are the nights. We are great workers, like books,
music, art and good company. The Millers are more sober
and quiet. I do not know a professional man in the family,
almost all are farmers, and they are men and women of
character and force, no matter where they are, but they
all take life seriously."
Mr. Elbridge G. Seawell and Susan Kennedy Miller his
wife had four children all girls viz:
1. Elizabeth H. Seawell; who was a very charming, cul-
tured woman. She married Dr. A. F. Claywell, of Lebanon,
Tennessee, she died some years ago without children.

met Mr. Burnam of Richmond, Ky. and had some corres-
pondence with his daughter. Miss Sallie Burnam, now
deceased. In 1892 she married Captain Isaac S. Boyd, of
Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Boyd died almost three years ago,
and it was his dearest wish that his children should have the
best education that was possible for them. Mrs. Boyd's
home is in Atlanta, Georgia. She is now temporarily at

log house still stands where we were all born — the deed signed to
land by Patrick Henry, the first Governor of Virginia when Kentucky
belonged to that state. The Lackey family are direct descendants
of Oliver Cromwell. My wife was Mary Eliza Goodloe, daughter of

"THE ST. ALBANS' RAIDERS.
S. E. Lackey's Statement.
Montreal, November 14, 1864.
"With the permission of your honor, I have only to say that
I am a native of the Confederate States, to which Government
I now owe allegiance. I have been thrown upon this Govern-
ment, not designedly, but by the fortunes of war. I have vio-
lated no law of this country, or of Great Britain, unless it be
unlawful for a Confederate soldier, driven by the hard fate of
war, to ask the protection of the British flag. I am a soldier
of the Confederate States army, having been recognized as such
by the so-called United States Government, from the fact of
having been held as prisoner of war. Our command now being
held as prisoners of war at Camp Douglas, Illinois, from which
place I made my escape, through the mercenary character of
those gallant Yankees — a people who make war for plunder,
and are bravest when they make war upon women and children.
I have during the captivity of my command been detailed for
special service inside the enemy's lines under the command of
Lieutenant Bennett H. Young. I owe no allegiance to the
"quasi" government of the United States. Whatever that I
may have done, it has been done under the authority of Gov-
ernment and by the orders of its commissioned officers, prompt-
ed by a sense of duty which I owed to my country, my gov-
ernment, and my fellow-comrades."

Note 2: — LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Massie's Mill, Va., Jan. 26, 1906.
Mr. W. H. Miller, Richmond, Ky.
Dear Sir — My grandfather was named James Miller. My grand-
father had two half-brothers, named Samuel and John; he also had
two whole brothers named Robert and Fleming. They were all
from Albermarle County. I don't know any of the Millers that you
speak of, but have no doubt but what we are some of the same
family. My father's name is James Miller. I had seven uncles, viz:
David, Christopher, Vantrump, Napoleon, Daniel, George and Robert.
Mv great uncles, Robert and Fleming, went to Missouri and set-
tled in St. Charles County. My uncles David and Christopher, also
vent to Missouri and settled near St. Joseph; the rest of my uncles
remained in Virginia, except uncle Vantrump, who moved to Tenn-
esseee, about thirty years ago, and died there. There is a Mr.
Robert Miller, who came from Augusta County and settled about
two miles from Massie's Mill, Va. and I showed him your letter
and asked him where his people came from, and he said his people
came from Nelson and Albemarle Counties. I do not know whether
I am related to this Mr. Robert Miller or not, but his features
Ilistonj and Genealogies 165
»
are very much like my grand-fathers, and his people and mine both
came from Xelson and Albermarle, we think we must be of same
family. Samuel Miller and John Miller, settled in Lynchburg, Va.
and dealt largely in tobacco and railroad stocks, and both of them
died there, John Miller died first and was worth about $100,000,
Samuel Miller's wealth at the time of his death was said to be about
$400,000.
Amherst and Nelson County Va. were both in one until the year
1808, and were called Amherst County, and it may be that you
could find out about your people in clerk's office at Amherst Court
House, Va. I have your letter to clerk of Circuit Court of Nelson
County, and if you wish I will take pleasure in sending it to the
clerk of Amherst, who may be able to give you the information
desired. Anything I can do to aid you in finding out what you wish
will be done with pleasure. I have a first cousin in this place
who has the same initials as yourself, "W. H. Miller." Please let me
know if you wish me to send your letter to the clerk of Amherst.
Very truly yours,
S. N. MILLER.

CHAPTER 15.
DR. ALEXANDER MILLER,
of Madison County, Ky.
Mrs. Bessie Miller Oton, from Harriman, Tennessee, in a re-
cent letter says: "The wnier offers this modest account of her
father's lineage, with regret that more is not obtainable, and the
briefness of time allotted by publisher closes all avenues of investi-
gation; for any error please attribute to head, not to heart."
B. M. O.
Mrs. Belle Miller Reynolds, of 324 Wabash Avenue, Kansas City,
Missouri, also writes: "I have enclosed you some facts concerning
my grandfather's life which may be of use to you. His biography,
written some years before his death, has some quaint as well as true
statements, and will be read in coming years with even more in-
terest than by those of today. * * * Mrs. B. M. R."
"Dr. Alexander Miller was born in Rockingham County, Vir-
ginia, November 2 6, 1783, being one of
ten children, eight boys and two girls —
four of the boys being physicians.
"His father, John Miller, served as an
officer in the Revolutionary War; was
born in Albemarle County, Virginia, 10th
of January, 1749, his mother being Mar-
garet Hicklin, of the same county, who
was born February, 1760.
"His grandfather, Rev. Alexander Mill-
er, a Presbyterian clergyman, was born
in Autrim, Ireland, and a graduate of
Edinborough University.
"The wife of Rev. Alexander Miller
was Jane Evans, of Glascow Scotland.
"The father of Rev. Alexander Miller
was the Duke of Autrim, Sir John Miller.
"Rev. Alexander Miller, who was an
Orangeman, on account of religious per-
secution, fled to Prance, thence to Amer-
ica, and was an important factor in Pres-
byterianism in the early history of the church in Virginia."
A few lines from Dr. Alexander Miller's biography may be of
interest to the readers of to-day:
"I was raised in Rockingham County and State of Virginia, in
the Valley of Virginia, one of the best portions of the State, the
residents were mostly descendants of Irish and Scottish parents
attached to education, industry and morality. I never heard of a
murder being perpetrated in the county before I left. Religious
instruction was given principally by Presbyterians and Methodists.
"I studied medicine in Harrisonburgh under the care of Dr. P.
Harrison an eminent physician, a pious and very worthy man. I
left home for Kentucky April 3, 18 06. I opened shop about the
place where Owen Walker's store is located (Richmond, Ky. ) May
15, 1806. I rented of John Burnam, and boarded with Major Robert
Miller, and family. My large patronage from the citizens of Mad-
ison and surrounding counties was unprecedented.
DR. ALEXANDER MILLER
, Hi story and Genealogies IGT
"I was married to Miss Elizabeth Barnett, only child of Colonel
James Barnett, in Oct. 1807, and moved to Silver Creek where I
farmed, and practiced medicine for many years aided by one of the
best of wives and children and neighbors. We left Richmond in the
spring of 1811. In settling on Silver Creek, we had for our neigh-
bors and with whom we spent much of our visits in sociability and
kind interchanges, towit: Nicholas Hawkins, William Robertson,
Major Mitchell, Colonel William Morrison, General Andrew Ken-
nedy, John Moran, James Anderson, Captain Andrew Kennedy,
Samuel Campbell, Moses Barker, Archibald Curl and all their
families which was very numerous in nearly every family. These
families were all in good circumstances, good livers, possessing
great hospitality and high social qualities. The improvement in
our farms and methods of farming has been very great, but it is
to be regretted that our people are more attached to business than
comforts with their happiness.
"I attribute much of my success in life to a kind over-ruling
providence who has dealt very kindly with me. I have done a great
amount of business, have never sued a man, prefering to settle diffi-
culties with others in business out of courts, and have often suffered
loss in preference to litigation, as the laws of our state are not
much to be relied on, and litigation is sure to make enemies of our
otherwise friends."
Dr. Miller made his home with his son, James B. Miller during
the last years of his life, where he died at the ripe old age of ninety-
five years. His five children were James B. Miller, Harrison Miller,
Mrs. Green Miller, Cyrus Miller and Dr. Fayette Miller.
His father was prominent in the early development of Virginia,
was regarded as an honorable man and devout christian, and reared
his children under the puritan rules of Calvinistic doctrine.
Mrs. Oton has several way bills of miscellaneous merchandise
dated Philadelphia, 1810, directed to Dr. Alexander Miller and
Co., Richmond, Ky., also the original deed of seventy-five acres of
land in Madison County, ceded Colonel James Barnett for official
service (in the Revolution) signed by Lieutenant Governor John
Pope, Secretary Gabriel Slaughter, dated at Richmond, Ky., January,
1819. The same package contains many written military orders at
headquarters of General Washington, 1777, signed, G. W., C. C. C.
Dr Miller's mind was superior, his manner of quiet dignity and
natural grace marked him indeed a Virginia gentleman He was of
Scotch-Irish descent, referring proudly to his fore bear, the Duke
of Autrim, a brilliant Scotch-Irish barrister, whose eloquence and
ready wit turned many a dry cause into a successful brief. Dr.
Miller to the last retained a clear intellect and deep interest in all
the affairs of the day. He sank to rest in the home of his beloved
son, and daughter (in-law) Mr. and Mrs. James B. Miller in Rich-
mond, Ky. He passed out and beyond quietly "as the mist rises
from the brook" with no stain of dishonor upon a long and well spent
life, and his grand children revere his memory. He was a noted
physician in his day and generation. On one occasion he was called
to see a patient in the vicinity of Irvine, Ky. some thirty odd miles
from his home, through the woods: on his way some hands were
opening a road through a gap or cut in the hills and felling trees
out of the way; a tree falling in a manner unexpected, caught a poor
fellow under it, and so terribly crushed a leg that his life was des-
paired of. Dr. Miller happening along about the time of the sad
occurrence was called to do what he could for the sufferer. He had
the hands stretch the patient out, and with the instruments then in
1G8 Hisionj and Genealogies
use by doctors he held the arteries and tied them and properly
dressed and bound up the wound, and told them to wait on him
dilligently, and do all they could to save the man's life, and to the
utter astonishment of all the patient recovered.
Among Dr. Alexander Miller's brothers and sisters were:
A sister, Jane; died single.
A brother, Isaac Miller: was a farmer and died near Cadiz,
in Trigg County, Ky.
A brother, Josiah Miller: was an able lawyer lived at Hopkins-
ville Ky.
A brother, William, Miller; was a farmer near Henderson, Kj'
A brother, John Miller; was a lawyer of Hopkinsville, Ky.
A brother James Miller; was a farmer and politican, prominent
and much admired, was close friend and helper of Lincoln. He
lived near Bloomington, Illinois, and was Treasurer of the state
for a number of years.
The children of Dr. Alexander Miller, and Elizabeth Barnett
his wife, are described in the coming sections:

Section 5. Dr. Lafayette Morrison Miller, youngest child, born

form and features. His wit and repartie won universal admiration
and like the "Knights of the Round Table" he was a "Merrie fellow."
He graduated with highest honors of the large class of 1847, at old
Transylvania, Lexington, Ky. and was a special favorite of Dr.
Ben Dudley, the surgeon. Dr. Miller went from Lexington to Phila-
deli)hia for a post graduate course at Blockly Hospital School. He
was married March 3, 1846, by Rev. James C. Barnes, to Miss
ITO Hisiorij and Genealogies
Caroline Wilson Embrj- (whose father, Talton Embry, was with
Co.onel Daniel and George Boone, in the early settlement of Ken-
tucky) a beautiful, lovely woman, whose presence to her family and
friends was like the passing of an exquisite strain of music.
Dr. Lafayette Miller, died in the prime of his manhood, loved
by all classes in Jackson County, Missouri. Was surgeon in first
company of volunteers commanded by Captain Edmund Halloway.
He entered the Confederate service April, 1861; remained until a
few weeks before his death 1862. Five children were born to
this union, viz:
1. Elizabeth Barnett Miller; the eldest daughter, was married
in Richmond, Ky., Oct. 3, 1867, by Rev. Burnett J. Pinkerton, in the
presence of James B. Miller and Rev. Robert L. Breck, to Thomas
Hill Oton, or Outon of Fayette County, Ky. Bessie Miller Oton is
an Elocutionist of the highest merit, an artiste. As early as about
1890, she directed her talent in the line of public reading and by her
own efforts has made herself a great name; her recitals are per-
fectly splendid and her listeners are completely charmed. She is also
a writer of ability, many know her as "Gypsey" through the columns
of the Sunny South. She is a thorough charming woman, small,
beautiful and graceful, impulsive and warm hearted, and in her
Southern tours was overwhelmed with attentions. The sketches
from her pen for various papers and magazines were most kindly
received, among them, sketches of literary work of "Laura C.
Holloway" (author of "Ladies of White House" and other books.)
"Leaves from the Life of a great surgeon" (Dr. Nathan Bowman
of N. Y. formerly of Macon, Ga. ) "Elocution a necessity for minis-
ters" "Wayside Flowers" "Adrift" and "Memory Bells." She has
been from time to time the New York correspondent for Kansas
City Times, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunny South, Lexington (Ky.)
Press, and South Western Presbyterian, New Orleans, also Christmas
Stories for children. Has, also, been a member of faculty of
Plumer College, Wytheville, Va., Valley Seminary and Tishburn
Military School, Waynesburg, Va., Fauquier Institute, Warrenton,
Va. High School, and West End Academy, Atlanta, Ga. Isabell
College, Talladega, Alabama, besides, she has numerious private
pupils some of whom, have risen to eminence. She has been all
over the union. Her native state Kentucky, should know her as
does the South. She has had a hard, tough work, unaided, but has
succeeded in spite of all, and there is not a blot on her life. Her
present efforts are all for humane purposes, cruelty to animals
specially.
Harry W. Grady's first criticism of her was "Mrs. Oton is a
"ficile princepes" in her art, and as a woman so high bred and com-
panionable she draws all hearts to her." Judge Hook, who was
Supreme Judge of Georgia gave testimony beautiful and true, had
met Mrs. Oton many times at Salt Springs, Chautauqua, Ga. In speak-
ing of an entertainment she gave there he thus complimented her,
"although suffering intensely, she held the rapt attention of her
listeners, and with rapidity moved them from tears to laughter.
Who would not be kind and appreciative of such a brave, noble and
gifted little woman?"
Mrs. Oton is the daughter of two of the most talented and chival-
rous families of Virginia and Kentucky, names old in history. • She
was reared in luxury, the ideal of proud parents, but when adver-
sity's chilling blast swept over her young life, and she was forced
to meet it, her true and noble nature faltered not, but by unceasing
labor, aided by a brilliant genius she stands today unchallenged in
Hisiory and Genealogies 171
her art, while her universal kindness to all, and refined beauty has
made her the people's idol, from New York to Mexico, where she
is known, and Georgia will ever be ready to welcome Mrs. Bessie
Miller Oton's return."
Mrs. Eugenia Dunlap Potts, in the Lexington Townscript said:
"To say that she is a genius but feebly expresses her supreme versa-
tility, her magnificent interpretation, her wondrous charm, when
she recites, one loses sight of the imitative feature of her work. All
that she does stands out as the emanation of her own brain. Viewed
from an artist's stand-point it is an irreparable loss to the world,
that this gifted woman is not on the dramatic stage. With the blood
of the Blue Grass dashing in resistless current through her veins,
the exceeding fineness of her nature, is the touch-stone to all that
is best in her renditions. She is bewitching in every attitude,
every line of her form breathes the poetry of motion. Every throb
of her bewildering pulses gives out her perfect womanhood. The
emotions whether grave or gay, majestic or grotesque, violent or
pathetic emanate from her soul, through eye and lip, and voice and
jesture with a fidelity that demands fullest sympathy from her
hearers. Her voice alone with its varied cadences would give out the
gamut of human passion were she motionless as a statue."
From the pen of "F" of Richmond, Virginia, in the Sunny South:
"She has made many friends at the various summer resorts she has
visited in Virginia, and added to her popularity as a conversation-
alist. We hope to secure her for a long time. Two of Mrs. Oton's
scholars, whom she taught in Atlanta, Mrs. A. H. Alfriend, and her
bright little twelve year son, Edward, also, if they are fair samples
of her scholars, any city should be proud to be able to secure her
services permanently. Little Edward Alfriend is a wonder, he
bids fair in future years to deserve the sobriquet of 'The Southern
Orator.' There are few, very few ladies in our country who have the
gift of entertaining both with pen and tongue as Mrs. Oton has.
Wherever she resides she will have as many friends and admirers
as she has in her old home."
We here quote from the Illustrated Kentuckian, Lexington, Ky. :
"The following eloquent tribute was paid to Mrs. Bessie Miller
Oton on her second appearance at Seamen's Bethel in New Orleans
on March 9, 1893, by Rev. Thomas R. Markham, D. D. pastor of
Lafayette Presbyterian Church and Captain General of tlie United
Confederate Veterans: 'A dowry lavished on this fair daughter of
Kentucky, herself a scion of that Blue Grass stock who a week ago
from this platform charmed our eye with the graces of manner and
our ears with the 'concourse of sweet sounds.' In the interde-
pendences of intellect, the masters of thought, and the monarchs of
words are large debtors to the masters of expression. Who can
measure Shakespeare's obligation for right interpretation and pro-
found impression to Mrs. Siddon's Garrack and Booth? And we
who here last Friday listened as the reader "lent to the rhyme of
the poet the beauty of her voice" entered as through a newly opened
door into the secret chambers of Longfellow's musings over hearts
set in tune with his, as with her beside him we "Stood on the bridge
at midnight." Roscius and Cicero, his pupil in elocution, held trials
of skill to test whether the orator, or the gesticulator, could the
more clearly and effectively render a thought, and Demosthenes, in
defining eloquence, thrice repeated the word "action." So it is with
us then, for while eye, ear and taste paid tribute to the modulated
tones, it was the spirit with which these were uttered, and the
"action suited to the word," the flash of the eye and the play of
17'i ffisforif and (Imcalofjirs
feature, the ease of movement and the grace of form, that com-
pleted the enchanter's spell, taking us captive at her will. But as
words are powerless to paint the lily, and add a perfume to the
violet, and as you are now to hear her for yourselves, and, too,
lest I "lag superfluous on the stage," suffer in closing to say for
myself that it has been a pleasure to know, and a privilege to hear,
as it is an honor to introduce, one, who coming to us last week a
stranger, is greeted by us tonight as a friend. I have the honor
of presenting to this audience Mrs. Bessie Miller Oton." "The
Bridge" is her most remarkable rendition. * * * This rendition
has been given by Mrs. Oton before the author Longfellow himself,
and with his great appreciation. In flowing rhythmic accents, in-
tense with reverie and sad memory and the joyful resurrection of
hope came the well known lines."
From the Southern Presbyterian, 1898: "Her naturalness of
manner, showing in rare perfection the 'art concealing art,' her
grace of movement, the modulated intonations of her cultivated
voice: the versatile play of powers passing in easy transformation
'from grave to gay,' and drawing at will from the 'spring of laugh-
ter' or the 'fountain of tears'; her sympathetic impersonation of her
author's thought, spirit and speech, 'the action suited to the word,'
these varied and combined accomplishments and gifts held us with
the spell of an enchantress, the assembly of intelligent and appre-
ciative listeners that fllled to overflowing the spacious room in which
she achieved so signal a triumph. A pleasing episode of the even-
ing, and a grateful surprise was the presentation to her of a laurel
wreath, the victor's crown. This was made in well chosen words
by Colonel Fred A. Ober, a veteran of the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia, who had had the pleasure of introducing to the veterans of
the Soldier's Home this daughter of a veteran of the Confederacy,
in which he made a pleasing and touching mention of her recitals
there, and at the Seamen's Bethel, and the Memorial Church, under
the care of Rev. Dr. E. Forman, the pastor of her childhood in
Kentucky, her native state. Her reply given with marked emotion,
her heart paying its tribute through tears, that moved ours, was a
felicitous recognition of the attention and appreciation shown her
in a city noted for its courtesy to strangers and its hospitality to
visitors, to which she came two months since a stranger, knowing
no one. and only asking to be heard: but now at narting leaving in
it many friends, whose kindness had made her visit a pleasure that
would live in her memory as a joy." (1898.)
A volume of testimony of the gifts and value of this remarkable
woman from the Southern press, such as the Picayune (Xew Or-
leans), the Sunny South, the Southern Presbvterian, Atlanta (Ga.)
Constitution, Lexington (Ky. ) Transcript, Virginia papers, etc.,
Supt. M. A. Cassidy, Lexington, Ky., etc., but this must suffice.
To the union of Bessie Miller and Thomas Hill Oton were born
two intelligent, admirable daughters, viz:
1. Caroline Embry Oton; now the wife of Richard Dunward
McPhaul, prominent turpentine exporter of Bay Minette, Ala.
They have one child, viz:
1. Richard McPhaul, Jr.
2. Adelaide Davis Oton; married .John Boon de Saussure,
of Charleston, South Carolina, son of General Wilmot Gibbes
de Saussure and Martha Gourdine de Saussure. Gen. de Saus-
sure was the hero of Ft. Sumpter. His son is a refined gentle-
man and excellent business man.

Article 3. — Items Connecting the Woods Name with Events.
(From History and Court Records.)
In the first settlement of Kentuclty the Woodses were in the
tide that flowed into the same, and took active part, not only in
the settlement, but the development and growth thereof, as their
fathers had also aided in the development of her mother, Virginia.
And items of interest taken from record and history are here thrown
in exhibiting some little events relative to the name Woods.
Section 1. John Woods was part of a company of fifteen men,
known as Hinkson's Company, who, in March or April, 1775, came
down the Ohio and up the Licking River in canoes in search of lands
to improve. They landed at the mouth of Willow Creek, on the
east side of Main Licking, four miles above the forks, whei'e Fal-
mouth now is, and took the route as told in Part I, Chap. 1, Sec. 1:
The Miller Company narrative. (Collins.)
Section 2. In 17 87, by an act of the Virginia General Assem-
bly, Archibald Woods, of Madison County, was appointed one of
ten trustees of the town of Boonesborough, established as a town
by said Assembly in October, 1779. (Collins.)
Section 3. Archibald Woods was one of the first Justices of the
Peace and of Oyer and Terminer, in the organization of the first
court of Madison County, being commissioned by His Excellency
Patrick Henry, Governor of Virginia, as such. (See Part I, Chap. 14)
Section 4. Woods Narrative (Col. His. p. 477): In the year
1781, or 2, near the Crab Orchard, in Lincoln County, a very sin-
gular adventure occurred at the. house of Mr. (Michael) Woods. One
morning he left his family, consisting of a wife, a daughter not yet
grown, and a lame negro man, and rode off to the station nearby,
not expecting to return till night. Mrs. Woods being a short dis-
tance from her cabin, was alarmed by discovering several Indians
advancing towards it. She instantly screamed loudly in order to
give the alarm, and ran with her utmost speed in the hope of
reaching the house before the Indians. In this she succeeded, but
before she could close the door the foremost Indian had forced his
way into the house. He was instantly seized by the lame negro
man, and after a short scuffle they both fell with violence, the negro
underneath. Mrs. (Hannah) Woods was too busily engaged in keep-
ing the door closed against the savages without to attend to the
combatants, but the lame negro, holding the Indian tightly in his
arms, called to the young girl to take the axe from under the bed
and dispatch him by a blow on the head. She immediately attempted
it, but the first effort was a failure; she repeated the blow and
killed the marauder. The other savages were at the door endeav-
oring to force it open with their tomahawks; the negro arose and
proposed to Mrs. Woods to let in another and they would soon dis-
l)ose of the whole of them in the same way. The cabin was but a
short distance from the station, the occupants of which having dis-
covered the perilous situation of the family, fired on the Indians
and killed another, when the remainder made their escape. (See

Section 15. Historical facts concerning the arms and crest of
the Irish branch of the ancient Woods family, taken from a copy
furnished by John O'Hart, of Xo. 7 Belone Terrace, Dolly-
mount, Dublin, Ireland, author of "Irish Pedigrees," Landed Gentry
in Ireland, at the time of the invasion of Oliver Cromwell, copied
from the manuscript of the 6th edition of "Irish Pedigrees," then
being prepared for the press, and were obtained from the archives
of Trinity College, Dublin, and the office of the Ulster King at
Arms, Dublin Castle, Dublin, Ireland.
Anns and Crest.
Arms — Sa, three garbs cor. crest — out of clouds a hand erect,
holding a crown between two swords, in bend and bend sinister,
points upward.
The meaning of the Arms and Crest is: Out of gray clouds a
flesh color hand perpendicular, holding a gold crown and all between
two steel colored swords. Their significance — the sheaves of wheat
on the arms indicate that the bearer came from a wheat-raising
country — the crest implies a combat, a victory, and an unexpected
reward — the two swords a combat, the result a gold crown from an
unexpected source — the hand out of a gray cloud.
Cucult, who (see page 689, Vol. 1, 6th edition of this work) is
No. 103 on the O'Xealles pedigree, was the ancestor of O'Coillte
Coin, Irish Wood, Coillte, Woods and O'Coillege, Anglicised, Reitty,
Guizty, Gait, Woods and Woods.
Thus the O'Coillte were a branch of the Mac Morough family,,
who were the Kings of Lunster up to the period of the English in-
vasion of Ireland in the twelfth century, when the O'Coillte family
deprived of their patrimony were scattered, some settling in Great
Britain and others on the Continent.
Among the officers commonly called the Forty-niners, who in
1649 fought for Charles I and Charles II, we find five who were
named Wood, and five who were named Woods; and the name
Woods is among the names of the Cromwellian adventurers for land
in Ireland in the Cromwellian period.
The name Woods appears among the French refugees (Hugue-
nots) who settled in England and Ireland before the reign of Louis
XIV of France, while Henry Woods was one of the members of the
Irish Parliament of James II in 1697.
In Burke's "General Armory" are described the Armoriat Bear-
ings of 99 of the Wood family and six of the Woods family, but all
of them are in England. The bearings described in the foregoing
were the ancient arms of the family in Ireland.
On page 136 of the MS, Volume F 22 5, in the library of Trinity
College, Dublin, we find that John Woods of the County Meath
married Elizabeth, born 15th day and baptized 17th Nov., 1656,
daughter of Thomas Worsop, of Dunshanlin, County Meath, by his
wife Elizabeth, who was daughter of Richard, son of William Par-
sons of Birr, or Parsontown by said Richard's wife Letitia, who
was the daughter of Sir Adam Loftus, miles, who married Jane,
182 History and Genealogies
daughter of Walter Vaughn, of Coldengrove, was son of Sir Dudley
Loftus, miles, by his wife Anne, daughter of Henry Bagnall, of
Newry, miles, and said Sir Dudley was the son of Adam Loftus,
Lord Bishop of Dublin and Lord chancellor of Ireland, who married
Jane, daughter of T. Purdon.
We further find that John Woods above mentioned, who married
Elizabeth Worsop, had issue, sons and daughters. The sons and
daughter were Michael, Andrew, William, and James, and Elizabeth,
wife of Peter Wallace, all of whom emigrated to America in the
beginning of the eighteenth century with the three sons of Michael — ■
William, John, and Archibald.
From these Irish emigrants are descended the Wood, Woods
families, now located in several of the United States, and
all descended from Adam Loftus, Archbishop of Dublin,
and Lord Chancellor of Ireland for Queen Elizabeth. Prom
Adam Loftus the descent is, Adam Loftus married Jane Purdon,
and among other children, Sir Dudley Loftus, miles, of Rathfran-
ham, County Dublin, who married Anne, daughter of Henry Bag-
nall, of Newry, miles, and had among other children. Sir Adam
Loftus, miles, who married Jane, daughter of Walter Vaughn, of
Coldengrove, who had among other children Letitia Loftus, who
married Richard Parsons, son of William Parsons, of Parsontown,
and had among other children, Elizabeth Parsons, who married
Thomas Worsop, of Dunshanlin, County Meath, who died May 27,
1686, and had among his children Elizabeth Worsop, born the 15th
day and was baptized the 17th of Nov., 1656, who married John
Woods, of the County Meath, and had with other children, Michael,
Andrew, William, and James (and Elizabeth, wife of Peter Wal-
lace). Michael Woods, eldest son of John Woods and Elizabeth
Worsop, married Lady Mary Campbell, of the Clan Campbell Argyl-
shire, Scotland, a near kinswoman of Archibald Duke of Argyle.
Adam Loftus, Archbishop of Dublin and Lord Chancellor of Ire-
land, was born at Levinhead, in Yorkshire, in 1534. He was the
younger of the two sons of the Rt. Rev. Edward Loftus, of Levin-
liead, temp. Henry VIII, Robert being the elder and the ancestor of
Viscount Loftus of Ely (extinct in 1725). The eldest son of Robert
was Adam Loftus of Monasteraven, Queen County, who was ap-
pointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 1619, created a peer in 1622.
The graceful deportment of Archbishop Adam Loftus at the
Cambridge examination attracted the attention of Queen Elizabeth,
and after his ordination in 1559 he was appointed Chaplain to Dr.
Craik, Bishop of Kildare. Loftus was advanced rapidly in the
church; when he was but twenty-seven he was created and conse-
crated Archbishop of Armagh; six years later he exchanged Armagh
for Dublin. With him a general system of education was a favorite
project; by his influence an act was passed in 1570 directing that
free schools should be established in the principal town of each
diocese at the cost of the clergy. He was appointed Lord Chanellor
of Ireland in 157.3, and was foremost in supporting and carrying
out Queen Elizabeth's foundation of the Trinity College, of which
he was the first provost, on the site of suppressed Monastery of All
Hallows. He expired at the Palace of St. Supulchres, Dublin, April
5, 1605, and was buried in the St. Patrick's Cathedral.

CHAPTER 2.
THE WOODS FAMILY.
of America.
Article 1. — The Woods Family are of Anglo-Scotch-Irish extraction.
The American Family .sprang from one John Woods, son of an
English Trcopei', wlio came to Ireland and was in the ai-my of
invasion of Oliver Cromwell, 1649.
The said John Woods was born in 1654 and married about 1681,
to Elizabeth Worsop, a daughter of Thomas Worsop and Elizabeth
Parsons, his wife. The said Elizabeth Parsons was a daughter of
Richard Parsons and Letitia Loftus, his wife. The said Letitia Lof-
tus was a daughter of Sir Adam Loftus and Jane Vaughn, his wife.
The said Sir Adam Loftus was a son of Sir Dudley Loftus, of County
Dublin, Ireland, and his wife, Anne Bagnall. The said Sir Dudley
Loftus was a son of Adam Loftus and Jane Purdon, his wife. The
siaid Adam Loftus was a son of the Right Rev. Edward Loftus, of
Levinhead.
The last named Adam Loftus was born in Yorkshire, England,
in 153 4, and by the promotion of Queen Elizabeth was made, when
only twenty-seven years old, Archbishop of Armagh, and subse-
quently Archbishop of Dublin and Lord Chancellor of Ireland. (See
Chap. 1. Art. 3, Sec. 15.)
Five of the children of John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop, his
wife — four brothers and one widowed sister and the wives of such
as were married, and the children who had then been born to them
in Ireland, near the close of the first quarter of the eighteenth cen-
tury emigrated from the north of Ireland to America and settled in
the Colony of Pennsylvania, some of them a little later on moving
to the Colony of Virginia and locating themselves near the base of
the Blue Ridge, as shown in Chapter 3, Part II.
These five children of John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop are the
basis of the Woods and Wallace families of America noticed in
this book.
The Woodses were very prolific, hardy, adventurous and re-
sourceful, they not only aided in the settlement and development of
Virginia, but in that of Kentucky and Missouri, and were conspic-
uous figures and took action in the great Revolutionary struggle
for American independence — not only the Woods name, but the
blood coursing in the veins of others wearing other names, in no
small measure increased the strength of the Revolution.
In all the generations from long before the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, down through the years to the present there have been
184 History and Genealogies
patriots among them. In the war of 1812, in the Indian wars, in
the Mexican War, in the Civil War that resulted in the freedom of
the negro, and in the Spanish-American War, they performed
some part.
We had data tracing the lineage of our immediate family back
to John Woods, son of the English Trooper and Elizabeth Worsop,
his wife, but of the numerous collateral branches forming since the
immigration to America down to the present, much was wanting,
and the Woods-McAfee Memorial, by Rev. Neander M. Woods has
furnished much information that was lacking (made use of by his
kind, generous and unlimited courtesy). The Rev. Neander M.
Woods performed well a very hard and worthy task, for which he
should be praised by the descendants of the Woods and Wallace
emigrants from Ireland.
As the Miller, Woods, Harris, Wallace, Maupin, Kavanaugh, Old-
ham, and Brown families are connected by numerous inter-mar-
riages, it is attempted in the coming chapters to give only a brief
sketch of the descendants of John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop:
not that it is expected at all to improve upon the work of the Rev.
Neander M. Woods, for nothing of the kind is hoped for, as he has
performed well his part, although in a work of the kind there will
unavoidably occur some errors, but only this: as the families afore-
named have so intermarried as in a sense to form one family, an
account of one is very incomplete without the other, and to simply
have the records of these several families condensed into one con-
nected volume for the benefit and pleasure of the family is the aim.
Perfection for this work is not claimed; it is only hoped that
the imperfections shall not utterly destroy the object and the friends
hereof should pardon all imperfections.
In spelling the name, some families have dropped the "s" and
spell it "Wood."
CHAPTER 3.

CHAPTEE 4.
MICHAEL WOODS.
From Ireland to Albermarle County, Virginia, later called Michael
Woods, of Blair Park.
(Named in Chapter 3, Section 2.)
Article 1. — Michael Woods, son of John Woods, and Elizabeth
Worsop, his wife, after his death known as ^Michael Woods, of
Blair Park, was boi-n in the North of Ireland, in about 1675 to
1684.
In about the year 1704 or 5, he married Mary Campbell, of the
Scottish Clan, Campbell of Argylshire, Scotland. He died in 1762.
His wife died probably about 174 2. His will bears the date Nov.
24, 1761, probated in the Albermarle, (Va.) County Court, at the
June Term 1762.
Near the close of the first quarter of the Eighteenth century, he
with his wife and children, and his widowed sister Elizabeth Wall-
ace, and her children and his brothers, James, William and Andrew
Woods, emigrated to America. Their first stop was jirobably in
Pennsylvania, where he remanied a while and then moved with his
family into Virginia, and settled at the Eastern base of the Blue
Ridge, in what was then Goochland, now Albermarle County, just
at the Gap in the mountain called "Woods Gap" and in after years
"Jarman's Gap."
Michael Woods, senior, and his son-in-law, William Wallace, in
173 7, secured grants for more than 1300 acres of land on Licking-
hole, Mechum's River and Beaver Creek, embracing the present
Mechum's depot, and Blair Park, (the old Woods homestead,) and
at the same time Michael Woods, senior, purchased the 2000 acre
patent of Charles Hudson on Ivy Creek. The first Presbyterian
18() Tlistori/ and Genealogies
Church, was Mountain Plains, bulit near the confluence of Licking-
hole Creek, and Mechum's River, and named for and after Michael
Woods 'plantation', and same still exists, having been converted in
some way into a Baptist Church.
When these people came to America they landed on the banks
of the Delaware, spent some years in Lancaster County, Pennsyl-
vania, and thence ascended the valley of Virginia and crossed the
Biue Ridge by Woods Gap, in 1734, and Michael Woods was, it is
believed the first settler in Western Albermarle, and perhaps any
where, along the East foot of the Blue Ridge in Virginia. His home
was near the mouth of Woods Gap, for a long while has been known
as Blair Park, but originally known as Mountain Plains. There
he spent the rest of his life, which ended in 17 62, his remains were
buried about 100 yards from his dwelling. He is remembered now
as Michael Woods of Blair Creek. He and his sons, and sons-in-law
had as fi'iends and neigbors, such noted persons as Colonel Peter
Jefferson, surveyor and County or Lord Lieutenant of Albermarle
County, his son, the statesman, Thomas Jefferson, author of the
Declaration of Independence, and third President of the United
States, Randolph Jefferson, General Lewis, James Munroe, fifth
President of the United States, who bore witness to many legal
documents for Michael Woods.
A land grant the 4th, June 173 7, to Michael Woods is in these
words and figures: "George the second, by the Grace of God, of
Great Britain, France and Ireland, King Defender of the Faith, to

MAGDALENE WOODS.
(Named in Chap. 4, Sec. 1.)
Article 1. — >Iag(laleiie AVoods, a daughter of Michael Woods, Senior,
of Blair Park, and >Iary Campbell, his wife, was bom in 1706,
and died in 1810.
She married first Captain John McDowell, who fell in battle with
the Shawanee Indians at Balcony Falls, where North River comes
into the James, in 1743, she married secondly, Benjamin Borden Jr.,
whom she survived, and married the third time Colonel John Bowyer.
From Waddell's annals of Auguta County, Virginia, page 37:
"On the 28th of Feb. 1739, John McDowell, who settled in Borden's
Grant, made oath at Orange Court 'that he imported himself, Magda-
line, his wife, and Samuel McDowell, his son, and John Rutter, his
servant, at his own charge from Great Britian in the year 1737, to
dwell in this colony, and that this is the first time of proving their
rights in order to obtain land pursuant to the royal instructions."
Waddell further says, "Captain John McDowell, was a prominent
Captain of a military force of Auguta County, in 1742. Ephraim
McDowell, then an old man, was a member of his son John's com-
pany. All grown men were enrolled without respect to age.
"Capt. John McDowell did not long enjoy the honor and perform
the duties of his office. He and seven of his men were killed in a
fight with Indians on Dec. 14, 1742, on North River near Balcony
Falls, within the present County of Rock bridge. A letter from
Judge Samuel McDowell, son of Capt. McDowell, written to Colonel
Arthtir Campbell in 1808, gives a somewhat detailed account of
this first conflict of whites with Indians. Judge McDowell states
that about the first of Dec. 1742, a party of thirty three Delaware
Indians came into the settlement in Borden's Grant, saying they
were on their way to assail the Catawba tribe, with which they
were at war. They professed friendship for the whites, and were
entertained for a day by Captain McDowell, who treated them
with whiskey."
"From McDowell's they went down the south branch of North
River and encamped seven or eight days. They hunted, went to the
homes of white people, scaring women and children, taking what
they wanted, and shot horses running at large. Complaint being
made to Colonel Patton, the County Lieutenant, he ordered Captain
McDowell to call out his company and conduct the Indians beyond
the white settlement. The company consisted of thirty three or
four men, and embraced all the settlers in what is now Rockbridge
County. In the mean while the Indians moved their camp further
south. The company of white men thirty three in number overtook
the Indians and accompanied them beyond Peter Sailings, then the
furthest white settlement. About one-half of the company were
horseback, and the remainder on foot. One of the Indians was
lame, and fell behind, all the whites passing him except one. The
lame Indian left the path and went into the woods, and the white
man who was in the rear fii-ed his gun at him. Immediately the
Indians raised the war-whoop and the fight began. As stated, the
History and Genealogies 189
«
Captain and seven of his men were killed. For a time the result
was doubtful, but finally the Indians gave way, leaving seventeen
of their men dead on the ground. The survivors took to the Blue
Ridge, and pursued it till they reached the Potomac River. Several
who were wounded died on the way and it was learned that only
ten of them reached their home in Pennsylvania. The people of
the settlement gathered on the field of slaughter and says Foote
"took the men (eight) bloody corpses, on horse back and laid them
side by side near McDowell's dwelling while they prepared their
graves in overwhelming sorrow."
"John McDowell's grave may still be found in the family bury-
ing ground near Timber Ridge Church, marked by a rough stone."

WILLIAM WOODS.
(Named in Chap. 4, Sec. 11.)
Article 1. — AVilliani "Woods, a son of Michael AVoods, senior, of Blair
Pai'k and Mary Campbell his wife, was born at Castle Dunshang-
lin, Ireland, in 1705.
He emigrated to America with his father. He was a Lieutenant
in the frontier Indian wars, in 175 8, from Albermarle County, Va.
and was active in the Colonial wars, holding the rank of Colonel.
His home was in Fincastle County, Va., where he died , leaving
his last will and testament, bearing date . At that time Fin-
castle County, embraced a very large territory. He married Susan-
nah Wallace, a daughter of Peter Wallace, Sr. (who died in Ireland)
and Elizabeth Woods, his wife (who when a widow emigrated to
America, and died in Rockbridge County, Va. ) (See Part Iv. Chap. 1.)
The children of William Woods, and Susannah Wallace, his
wife:
Section 1. Adam Woods: married Anna Kavanaugh, according
to some biographers. See Chapter 7 for further account, and Part
Vii, Chap. 11, Sec. V.
Section 2. Michael Woods, born perhaps about 1746. He mar-
ried Hannah Wallace, a daughter of Andrew Wallace, and Margaret
Woods, his wife. See Part IV, Chap. 3, Sec. 6.) In about the
year 17 80, he emigrated with his family to Kentucky, and first
stopped at Crab Orchard Station, where he was living in 1781-2, when
the incident or adventure occured at his house as narrated in Col-
lins History of Kentucky, (See Item 4, of Chap. 1) and also des-
cribed by the Tattler further on in this chapter. He afterwards
moved to Madison County, Kentucky, and entered, surveyed, and pat-
ented 1000 acres of land in Madison County, on Muddy Creek, adjoin-
ing of James Bridges settlement and pre-emption claim on the lower
side. On the 25th of Jan. 1822, he and his wife, being both dead,
his heirs, namely: William Woods, and Ruth his wife, James Hutton
and Hannah his wife, late Hannah Woods, James Woods, David
Chevis and Polly, his wife, late Polly Logan (late Polly Woods), Sal-
lie Smith, late Sallie Woods, and her husband, Thomas Smith, John
Woods and Polly his wife, Adam Woods and Nancy his wife, Andrew
Wallace Woods and Margaret, his wife, united in a deed, conveying
to William Black, assignee of William Tinchner, 3 00 acres, part of
the 1000 acres survey and patent aforesaid, except 30 acres, thereto-
fore conveyed to Samuel Tinchner. See statement of the Tattler
under subdiv- 3-1, of this section. The children of Michael Woods,
and Hannah Wallace, his wife:
1. William Woods; married Ruth Kinkead, Aug. 1, 1792.

6. John Woods, was twice married, first to Mary H. (or Polly)
Thomas, July 2, 1812,. in Madison County, Ky., and second to
History and Genealogies 195
Susan March. There was no issue of the second marriage. His
home was near Milford or old town, on land, owned in his life
time by the late Major John D. Harris, where he lived until his
death, May, 1.3, 1845, leaving a last will and testament, bearing
date, March 9, 1844, probated June 2, 1845. The children of
the first marriage:
1. Elizabeth Woods, born April 23, 1813, near Milford, or
old town, in Madison County, Ky. She married Edward C.
Boggs, Sept. 19, 1833. Their home was on the Big Hill Road,
near the south eastern limits of the city of Richmond, Ky. where
they died. The Tattler, of one of the Richmond papers pro-
duced the lollowing: "Mrs. Elizabeth Woods Boggs, who was
born April 23, 1813, about one mile from Milford, the first
County seat of Madison County, is now living (since deceased)
at the ripe age of seventy one, with her son, J. H. Boggs, about
one mile east of Richmond. Mrs. Boggs' great uncle, Archibald
Woods, among the first represenatives from this Countv in
the Legislature, was sheriff in 179 8, at the time of the County
seat and Court House trouble, and removed the records from
Milford to Richmond before the Anti-removal men arrived at
the scene. Her grandfather, Michael Woods, and her grand-
mother, whose maiden name was Hannah Wallace, were natives
of Ireland, but having moved to Scotland, about the middle of
the last century, emigrated from there to Virginia in about 1775
and there her father, John Woods, was born, in 1777. (These
dates are erroneous, Michael Woods, father came to America
at a much earlier date. Michael was born in America, colony
of Va. ) He was next to the youngest of four sons, William
and Adam older, and Andrew, younger than himself, besides
the four boys there were five girls in the family of Michael
Woods when he removed from Virginia to Kentucky, in about
1780, and settled at Crab Orchard Station, and lived there at
the Fort with other settlers. He was in all the seiges and fights
at Crab Orchard Station, and frequently took part in the scouts
and pursuits of the Indians to recover stolen propertv. He
afterwards moved to his place near Milford or Old Town, on
land now owned by Major Jno. D. Harris where he died. John
Woods bought out the other heirs and lived there until his
death, May 13, 1845.
William Woods, is described as being stout, over six feet
tall and with red hair. He was a bold and fearless man, and
continually in fights with the Indians, but seems to have been
discreet enough, and never fool-hardy. At one time he was
returning on horse back, from a hunt, when suddenly he found
that the Indians were all around him, except on the side
towards a ravine, having a fleet horse he considered that dis-
cretion was the better part of valor, so he made him jump the
ravine and thus escaped.
Polly Woods, one of the girls of this family married Sam
Logan, who was the first tanner ever in Richmond. (One Sam
Logan, on he 18th of Oct. 1799, married Peggy Briscoe, a daugh-
ter of Captain Wiliam Briscoe, and Elizabeth Wallace his wife
of near Richmond, Ky. (See Part Iv, Chap IS, Sec. 1.) And
Mrs. Boggs has many times heard her father tell the true storv
of an incident related in Collins History. One night, most
likely in the spring of 1782, the Indians made a raid on the
Station at Crab Orchard and stole all the horses. The next day
all the men in and about the fort went in pursuit, leaving only
196 Hisiory and Genealogies
a negro with a lame hand at Mr. Woods cabin and a white man
sick in another cabin close by. The children had been going
to and from the spring all morning and had noticed nothing
suspicious, except their sagacious dog would walk slowly in
the spring path and look towards the spring and growl, but
never bark. Towards dinner time, Polly Woods, then seventeen
years old, had gone with her little brother, John to a knoll,
not far from the house to gather salad, and the negro man, was
in the yard playing on a buffalo robe with little Betsy Woods,
suddenly, Polly saw a huge Indian stealing up the spring path
with his body bent, and on tiptoe leading a band of warriors,
and she at once gave the alarm, at the top of her voice. The
negro ran to the house in an instant to shut the door, but the
Indian leader rushed in the door at the same time and there
they clinched in a tremendous struggle, the negro being as
good a wrestler as the Indian. During the scuffle at the door,
little Betsy though only three years old, slipped in between
them, in a minute or two they had gotten inside and Mrs.
Woods, the mother of the family had secured the door. In
one corner stood a rifle and the struggle was for the gun, the
Indian forgetting to use his knife and tomahawk, which hung
in his belt, but jabbering all the time to his companions out
side who were trying to break down the door with their war
clubs. Mrs. Woods ran for a knife near by, but seeing it was of
no use seized the broad axe and hewed the Indian down. Utterly
cutting him to pieces before they could stop her. Meanwhile
Polly had rushed with her little brother to the house of the
sick neighbor, who though hardly able to move, seized his rifle
and shot one of the Indians out side. The savages then beat
a hasty retreat, taking the dead body of their comrade with them.
They had been concealed near the spring, and seized their oppor-
tunity to slaughter the family, but failed. By the continual
practice the sagacity of the lower animals in the old days was
almost perfectly developed. The intelligent dog mentioned
above was a very valuable animal. On one occasion William
Woods with his twelve-year-old brother John, had gone to the
salt works on Goose Creek, for salt, accompanied by this dog,
on their return they had stopped for the night and had lighted
a fire when this old dog looked back in the direction they had
come and growled, but knew better than to bark knowing
that Indians were about, William scattered the flre and came to
the station, that night before stopping. A day or two after
several men were killed in the same place by Indians.
Mrs. Boggs had in her possession a box made of lignumvitae
which belonged to her great grand father in Ireland, and was
brought to America by her grand father when he came to Va.
It is supposed to be two hundred years old. The children of
Elizabeth Woods, and Edward C. Boggs:
1. James Howard Boggs, was born in Madison County,
Ky. at his parents home. He was one of General John H.
Morgan's raiders during the Civil War, Co. F. 7, afterwards
the 11 Ky. Cavalry, (Col. D. Waller Chenault), was in the
famous Ohio raid where he was captured, and made his escape
from Camp Douglas. It was almost next to impossible to
hold him a prisoner, his cunning and shrewd sagacity and
determination worked to that end. He married Mary C.
Pigg, a daughter of Johnson Pigg, and lived in Madison
County, Ky. and after his father's death, owned and occu-

9. Betsy Woods, mentioned by the Tattler, but who was prob-
ably dead in 1822, when Michael Woods heirs joined in the deed
to William Black, assignee of William Tinchner, for her name is
silent in the deed, or the latter was probably mistaken in the
staement that the child was named Betsy. (One Elizabeth Woods
married Talton Taylor, Feb. 4, 1802 and one Elizabeth Woods
married James Moberly, Sept. 28, 1816.)
Section 3. Peter Woods,1762, came from Virginia to Madison
County, Ky., with his wife, Jael Kavanaugh, a daughter of Charles
Kavanaugh, senior, (w^ho died in Madison County, Ky. in 1796) and
An his wife, he was one of the executors of his father-in-law-'s will.
He was a pioneer Baptist preacher, and lived for a number of years

marriages and in about the year 1808, went to Tennessee, where he
remained until about 1819, and removed to Cooper County, Miss-
ouri, where he died in 1825, leaving many descendants. On Aug. 23,
1786, one Peter Woods was recommended by the Madison County,

with his family to Tennessee, where he died in 1815. Mary Ann

ARCHIBALD WOODS.
(Named in Sec. 6, Chap. 6, Part II.)
Article 1. — Archibald Woods, a son of William AVoods, and Susan-
nah Wallace, his wife, was born in Alberniarle Connty, Virginia,
Jan. 29, 1749, he married Ang. 5, 1773, to Monrning Shelton, a
daughter of William Shelton and Lucy Harris, his wife. She was
born in 1756, and died Sept. 7, 1817. (See Part ITT, Cliap. 3,
Sec. 6-1.)
Extract from Hon. John D. Goodloe's Publication:
"The aforesaid Archibald Woods, son of William AVoods, and
Susannah Wallace Woods, was born in what is now Alberniarle
County, Va. on Jan. 29, 1749, and married Aug. 5, 177?>, to Mourning
Shelton, daughter of William Shelton, and Lucy Harris Shelton, ^he
being a daughter of Major Robert Harris and Mourning Glenn Harris.
In 1774, Archibald Woods, moved to Monroe County, Va. from
Montgomery County, Va. He entered the military service of the
Colonial Government as Captain of Virginia militia, and at once set
out from what is now Munroe County, Va., under Col. Russell, on a
march of 200 miles to the relief of Fort Watauga. This expedition
lasted about six weeks, and the return march was hastened by an
express bringing the intelligence that the Shawnee Indians had com-
menced hostilities. On reaching home he found the people forted,
and he was placed in command of the fort and local defenses, until
spring. After this except, during intervals of inclement winter
weather, he was almost constantly employed in the frontier defen-
ses, first under Colonel Samuel Lewis, and then under Colonel
200 Hist or fi and Genealogies
Andrew Donnelly, and lastly under Colonel James Henderson,
until after the surrender of Cornwallls in 1781. He then surrendered
his commission as Captain of Virginia militia to the Greenbriar Coun-
ty Court and never saw it afterwards. He first came to Kentucky in
1781. He returned to Virginia in Feb., 1782, and removed with his
family to Estill Station, Madison County, Ky., in the fall of that year.
The next year, 17 83, he made his first Kentucky crop, on Pumpkin
Run, where he had contracted with Col. Estill for 400 acres of land,
including a spring represented to be ever lasting, but the spring
going dry that year, the contract with Colonel Estill was canceled,
and in .Tan. 1784, he bought land on Dreaming Creek, a few miles
north of the present site of Richmond, where he built Woods Port,
and there lived between 2 5 and 26 years. The first land he bought
In Madison County, Ky. is described by him in a deposition as
"1000 acres of as good land as any in the Estill Station survey,"
and "the price paid for it was a rifle gun."
The original commission of Patrick Henry, Governor of Virginia,
appointing him with nine others "Gentlemen Justices of the Peace
for Madison County, Ky., to take effect Aug. 1, 17 85, the natal day
of the County is still preserved, was in the possession of Judge
William Chenault of Richmond, Ky. now deceased. The same doc-
ument, also appoints the same persons, "Gentlemen Commissioners
of Oyer and Terminer" with full jurisdiction to try and punish
slaves for all penal and criminal offenses, including the infliction
of capital . punishment.
He was still a magistrate in 1798, and as such voted for the
removal of the County seat from Old Town, (Milford) and presided
at the Court that established and named the town of Richmond
making it the County seat, and became one of its first trustees.
He was appointed sheriff of Madison County May 4, 1801. After a
long litigation and possession of a quarter of a century, he was
finally evicted of his home and land on Dreaming Creek in a suit
brought by one Patrick, and being disgusted with the land laws of
Kentucky that in the afternoon of his life took from him his home
and bulk of his estate on a mere technicality, he moved with his fam-
ily, in the fall of 1809, to Williamson County, on Beans Creek, Mid-
dle Tennessee. In that state his wife, Mourning Woods, died Sept.
7, 1817, aged 61 years and 8 months.
On Jan. 30, 1818, he married Dorcas Henderson, and lived for
a time in Franklin County. Tenn. This marriage proved to be
a very unhappy one, and a separation having occured he returned
to Madison County, Ky., in 1820.
In Jan 183 3, being then a feeble old man of 84 years and well
nigh stripped of his property, he filed an application at Washing-
ton for a pension for military services in the war of independence,
and was promptly granted a pension of $480 per annum, to date
from March 4, 18 31. But for the affidavits of himself and witnesses
then living in this application and the pension no proof could be
had of his military service except the Virginia military land warrant.
He died Dec. 17, 1836, at the age of 89 years, 10 months and
17 days, at the residence of his son, Archibald, Fort Estill Madison
County, Ky. ; his will bears date March 17, 183 6, probated June 2,
1837. The remains of himself and his first wife. Mourning Shelton,
were interred in the family burying ground about two miles northeast
of Richmond, not far from the residence on Otter Creek, now owned
and occupied by Jeptha Chenault, but were sub.=equently many years
ago removed and re-interred in the Richmond Cemetery, where they
now rest.

The Reid Family.
In the first part of the seventeenth century, Samuel Reid came
from Scotland to America and settled in Pennsylvania. He enlisted
as a soldier in the Revolutionary Army, in which he faithfully served
until peace was declared, and America was freed from the yoke of
England. After the war he settled in the Valley of Virginia, in
probably Nelson County. Many of his descendants now live in Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, Georgia, and other states of the Union.
In the Revolutionary Arrtiy Nathan Reid was Captain of a
Company of the 14th Va. Regiment, commanded by Colonel Charles
Lewis of Albermarle. In 1778 this company was designated as
Captain Nathan Reid's company of the 10th Va. Regiment command-
ed by Colonel William Davies. In May, 1779, the 1st and 10th Va.
Regiments were consolidated and this company was called Captain
Nathan Reid's and Lieutenant Colonel Hopkins' Company, 10th Va.
Regiment commanded by Colonel William Davies and some times
referred to as the 1st and 10th.
John Reid: married Mary Woods as set forth in Chapter 21.
Samuel Reid; married Suity Woods, as set forth in the beginning
of this chapter XXIX. and Jonathan (or Jno. N.) Reid married
Anna Woods, as set forth in chapter XLVIII.
Notes: — The prevailing impression in our mind has been that
Captain Nathan Reid, John Reid, Samuel Reid, and Jonathan Reid
were brothers, having been so told years ago by one who professed
to know, but who is long since dead (the venerable Robert Harris,
of Drowning Creek, Madison County, Ky., who lived to be 9 6 years
old). There were probably other brothers and sisters. They prob-
ably had a brother Alexander Reid. Andrew Reid died in Alber-
marle in 1751, and James Reid died in 1790.

ANNA WOODS.
(Named in Chap. 19, Sec. 6.)
Article 1. — Anna Woods, a daughter of Colonel John Woods of Albe-
marle and Susannah Anderson his wife, was bom in Albemarle
County, Va., where she was married to John N. (or Jonathan)
Reid, of Nelson County, Va., about the year 1788. (See Chap.
19, Sec. 6, and Chap. 29, Sec. 3.)
It is set forth in the Woods — McAfee memorial that she sur-
vived her husband, and married her cousin, William Woods. (See
Chap. 12.) It is believed she came to Madison Countv, Kv., where
she died Aug. 9, 1805.
One John Reid and his wife, Anna Reid were members of the
Viney Fork church, which was organized in 179 7, but they were
another couple. It is known that some of her children lived in and
were married in Madison County, Ky., as shown below.
There is a record in the Clerk's office of the Madison County
Court, of a power of Attorney, bearing date Meh. 2, 1819 from Alex-
ander Reid and James Reid of the city of Richmond, Va., appointing
Andrew Wallace of Richmond, Ky., their attorney in fact to inves-
tigate, sue out, or compromise, or do any other lawful act, in ascer-
taining their rights and title to all lands in the state of Kentucky to
which they are, or may be entitled as heirs of "John N. Reid" for
Jonathan Reid, deceased, both being of the County of Nelson, (for-
merly Amherst) and state of Virginia conjointly with the other heirs
of said descendents. It seems that Anna Woods husband, John N.
Reid, was a native of Nelson County, formerly Amherst County,
Va., and an heir of Alexander Reid deceased, but the relation is
not very explicitly stated in the power of Attorney. The name was
written "John N." for "Jonathan." The children of Anna Woods,
and John N. Reid, or Jonathan Reid, were:
Section 1. Alexander Reid, who it seems was in the year 1819,
a resident of the city of Richmond, Va., and joined with his brother
James in the power of Attorney to his brother-in-law, Andrew Wal-
lace of Richmond, Ky. above named. He was born Jan. 22 1789.

again in Madison County, Ky., William Oldham, son of Richard
Oldham of Estill County, Ky., and Ann Pepper his wife. (See Part
VI, Chap. 11.) Said William Oldham was born April 2 3, 177 7, and
died Sept. 26, 1849, she was his second wife, and he was her second
husband. She died May 13, 1851. Children of her first marriage:
1. Susannah Moberley.
2. Polly Moberley.
3. Jane Reid Moberlev; married John R. Oldham. (See Part
VI, Chap. 37.)

6. Ann Moberley; married Adam Hill in Madison County, Ky.,
Aug. 14, 1828, they afterwards emigrated to Missouri, and in Miss-
ouri, one of her daughters Roena Hill, married a man by the
name of Ralston, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralston, towit:
Annie Ralston, married Frank James the famous Missouri bandit,
and whose son is a lawyer of Kansas City.
For children of the second marriage of Susannah Anderson Reid
Moberley and William Oldham, see Part VI, Chap. 11.
Section 3. John Woods Reid, born June 10, 179 3: died Oct.
11, 1799.
Section 4. Jane Reid, born Dec. 9, 1794; she married Andrew
Wallace in Madison County, Ky. Oct. 5, 1813. She died April 14,
1863. (See Part IV, Chap. 7, Sec. 6, and Chap. 8.)
Section .5. James Reid, born Oct. 29, 1796. It seems that in
the year 1819, he was a resident of the city of Richmond, Va., and
joined with his brother Alexander Reid in the power of attorney to
his brother-in-law, Andrew Wallace, of Richmond, Ky., above men-
tioned. He died in the South Oct. 9, 18 37.

to support the established church, and her clergy and the glebes, and
presented many petitions and memorials to the law making power,
in their valiant fight for religious liberty.
One of his meetings in Culpeper was invaded by a band of oppo-
sers, headed by Captain Ball, to prevent his preaching bringing on
a scuffle and tumult, closing the meeting in confusion. On another
occasion while preaching at Ft. Mayo, he was summarily interrup-
ted and outrageously accosted. These were turbulent times in old
Virginia for Baptist preachers, who were struggling for a better day
to come. He and his co-workers, and contemporaries, such as Elders,
John Burrus, .John Young, Ed Herndon, James Goodrich, Barthol-
omew Choning, John Waller, William Webber, James Greenwood,

John Weatherford, David Tinsley, John Shackelford, Ivison Lewis,
John Tannor, David Thomas, Augustine Eastin and others, and the
Baptist societies they represented were in derision called and referred
to in such reproachful names as "disturbers of the peace," "ignorant
and illiterate set," "poor and contemptible class," "schismatics"
"false prophets," "wolves in sheeps clothing," "perverters of good
order" "callers of unlawful assamblics," for the purpose of cast-
ing odium upon them, but they patiently endured all, and stood
firm in the Lord, suffering persecutions, imprisonments, and fines for
conscience sake, and trusting in the salvation of the Lord, fought,
bravely for civil, as well as religious liberty, contesting every step
of ground, which was most gloriously won. No other religious so-
ciety stood so firm and unrelenting, in the struggle as did the Bap-
tists, conspicious among whom was Samuel Harris, the subject of
this sketch.

CHAPTEE 2.
THE HARRIS FAMILY.
Article 1. — The ancestor of this family came to America from Wales,
probably near the middle of the seventeenth century, and set-
tletl in the Colony of Virginia. The stock being Anglo-Welsh.
In the period 17 80-1790, there was a great migratory movement
from Virginia and other states to the new and fertile regions of Ken-
tucky, "The Dark and Bloody Ground." Among the emigrants from
Albemarle and adjacent counties of Virginia, were Christopher Har-
ris, senior, his second wife, Agnes McCord, besides a greater number
of his sons and daughters, in two sets, numbering in all seventeen
and a host of grand children, who composed an amazing throng
for one family to swell the population of the new country, some of
whom were in Kentucky as early as 1783, many at later dates moved
to the Territory of Missouri. Christopher Harris, Sr. travelled a great
deal over the Kentucky wilds and entered lands on the waters of the
Licking river, but settled and established his home in Madison Coun-
ty, Kentucky, where he owned lands on Silver, Muddy and Downing
Creeks, in addition to a large body of land in Albemarle, and he owned
a number of negro slaves, which he had brought to xs.entucky.

(wife Jennie Warren) and Foster Harris, (wife Sallie Manning) and
others. (See notes.) All came to Kentucky prior to 1790 (some of
•whom were here several years before said date) from their old Vir-
ginia homes, and travelled the wilderness road. Some of them mar-
ried in Kentucky; one married in Madison County, Ky.
- Note — Since the above was written we are indebted to Mrs.
Cassius M. Clay, of Paris, Ky., for the following additional faest:
"Major Robert Harris was a member of the Virginia House of
Burgesses from Hanover County, 1736-173S, 1740-1742, and Justice
of the Peace of Louisa County in 1742, and Surveyor in 1744.
"His wife, Mary Rice nee Claiborne, was a daughter of Sec-
retary William Claiborne who came to Virginia with George Wyant
in 1621. William Claiborne was born in 1587, and died in 1676,
he married Elizabeth Butler.' He was secretary of state in Virginia
in 1625-1635, 1652-1660, treasurer in 1642-1660. Surveyor Gen-
try in 1621-1625. He was a Justice of the Peace of York and Nor-
thumberland in 1653. Member of the Council in 1623. In 1629
he commanded an expedition against the Indians; again in 1644, he
did the same. In the Northampton records, April 1653, is an order
referring to the worshipful Colonel William Claiborne Esq. Deputy
Governor. "Temperance Overton, (the wife of William Harris) came
to this country with three brothers and settled in Virginia. She was a
daughter of William Overton, and Mary Waters, William Overton
was a Colonel under Oliver Cromwell, and commanded one wing
of the army at the battle of Dunbar; for some cause he was east
into the Tower of London by Cromwell, and died there."
Article 2, — One Robert Hanis of Wales, (1630-1700) about 1650,
niariied Mrs. Rice, whose maiden name was Claiboiirne, daugh-
ter of Secretary William Claiborne, to whom ^vas bom, in 1752, / C»*
a son, AVilliam Harris.
They came to America, and settled in the Colony of Virginia, on
the James River, near Weyanoke. Tlie said William Harris, married
Temperance Overton, a daughter of a wealthy tobacco grower,
William Overion, and Mary Walters, his wife. The said William
Overton, was a son of Colonel Overton, who commanded a
Brigade of Iron sides under Oliver Cromwell.
William Harris became also a tobacconist, raising and dealing
in that weed, which was at that time a medium of exchange, and
became fairly well off in this world's goods, but he died before he
reached old age, and a bronze tablet and stone, marked the resting
place of his mortal remains. From this emigrant, sprang our
American family, the blood courses, in the veins of hundreds and
hundreds of families and persons of other names, scattered all over
America and elsewhere. The family as such is noted for courage,
brain, strength, and industry, endurance, honesty, and influence;
many have held, and many yet hold high positions or trust, in polit-
ical, in economical, in agriculturaal and in commercial industry,
in the ministry fearless, but God-fearing servants, in the various
branches of learning, in the army, in the navy, and in every calling
and profession, some noted lawyers, some famous as physicians,
some humorous and learned writers.
William Harris, died March 8, 1687, at the age of thirty five
years. His remains were buried in an old Colonial church at Wej^-
anoke on the James river, and a bronze tablet, commemorating his
Hlstonj and Genealogies 2G3
death and age marked his burial place. The old church long since
going to ruins, on the first of July 1875 the tablet was removed to
Norfolk, Va., and placed in the walls of St. Pauls old church. En-
graved on the tablet is the following.
"Here lyeth ye body of
William Harris
who departed this life ye Sth day of March, 1687
Aged 35 years.
On the 1st day of July, 1875, this stone and
tablet was brought from Weyanoke , on the
James River. It was found among ruins of an
old Colonial Church."
Proof is sufficient for stating that said tablet marked the
grave of our ancestor.
To William Harris, and his wife. Temperance Overton, were
born three sons:
Section 1. Christopher Harris.
Secrion 2. ;Major Robert Harris. He married Mourning Glenn.
He died in Brown's Cove, Albemarle County, Va., in 1765. A fuller
history of whom is given in Chapter 3.
Section 3. Overton Harris; married Anne Xelson. The subject
of Chapter 4 9.

CHRISTOPHER HARRIS.
(Named in Chap. 3, Sec. 8.)

McHMiii!j> Glenn, his wife, the emigrant from Virginia to 3Ia(l-
ison County, Ky. rehited in Cliap. 2, first settled in Albemarle

Afterwards he emigrated to Kentucky, an'd acquired lands in the

lands he owned in Albemarle County, Va., and was the owner of a
number of slaves. He made many visits to Colonel Daniel Boone's
old Fort at Boonsborough, and was often sheltered there, and sat
around the cabin fires and enjoyed the company of the old pioneers,
he being one himself. Two of his sons married dMighters of the old
pioneer, Higgason Grubbs. (See Chap. 1, Sec. 7.)
He first married Mary Dabney, a daughter of Cornelius Dab-
ney, senior, and Sarah Jennings, his wife. (See Chap. XV, Sec. IV.)
A brief history of the Dabneys and Jennings is given in Chap. XV.

McCord, evidently a daughter of John McCord whose will was pro-
bated March 8, 1764, in the Albemarle Court, and a copy certified to

form, they having first made oath, and together with John Miller,
James Berry, William Jones, William Irvine and Joseph Pelpithier
securities, entered into and acknowledged their bond in the penalty
of two thousand pounds, conditioned as the law directs."
In the will which speaks for itself he styles the children by his
first wife, his "first children," and those by his last wife his "last
set of children," and refers to the will of Cornelius Dabney, Sr.
(father of his first wife.) He appoints Foster Jones and Christopher
Harris (his son-in-law, and son) executors of the first part of his
will applying to his first children and his wife (Agnes) and John
Sappington and John Harris (his son) executors of the part applying
to his last wife and her children.

made Dec. 2, 1809 by the heirs of Christopher Harris deceased, and
his second wife, Agnes McCord, to Samuel Williams and James
Guthrie to 600 acres on Hinkston's Fork of Licking in Bourbon
County, Kentucky. His wife was Susannah Gass, daughter of David
and Sarah Gass, see Chap. 2, notes.
Section 13. Samuel Harris, was a devisee of his father's will.
He married Nancy Wilkerson. It appears from the Court records
that Samuel Harris entered as one of the sureties on the bond of
his brother, Overton, and brother-in-law, John Bennett as executors
of the will of his sister, Margaret Harris, who died testate and un-
married in the year 1814. On Aug. 4, 1830, Samuel Harris and
his wife, Nancy, conveyed to Richard Fowler land in Madison County
and on the 21st of Sept. 1831, they were living on their farm, on

conveyed to Edwin Phelps and they emigrated westward, probably
to Missouri. (See Chap. 1, Sec. IX, and also note at the foot of
Chapter XLV.)

Seventeen children were born to Christopher Harris, the fruits
of his marriages to Mary Dabney and Agnes McCord, all of whom
lived to maturity, and all raised families of their own, except his
daughter Margaret. Such a record is hard to surpass.
CHAPTER 5.
SARAH HARRIS.
(Named in Chap. 4, Sec. 2.)
Article 1. — Sarah Haii'is a daughter of Cliristopher Harris, the old
Kentucky pioneer, and Mary Dabney his first wife, was bom in
Albemarle County, Va., and was niaiTied there to James ^Martin.
They came with their children to Madison County, Ky. in the
immigration named in Chapter 2. James Martin died in Madison
County, Ky. about the first of the year 17 99, having first made and
published his last will and testament, which bears date July 5, 1796,
probated March 5, 179 9, and his wife Sarah and sons, William, Tyre
and Robert Martin were appointed executrix and executors, (Will
book A. page 192) when this will was written they had a grand-son,
David Martin, son of his deceased son, James Martin. Their children:
Section 1. Azariah Martin, was born in Albemarle County,
Va. and came to Madison County, Ky. prior to 1784. His wife's name
we haven't found out. He was well acquainted with Estill's old
Station, and other noted places. He was a scout, Indian spy, hunter
and skilled woodsman, and went into what was then a wild, unset-
tled country, and made his home, on Station Camp Creek, about two
miles from the Little Picture Lick, or Blue Banks, where the Indians
blazed the trees with their tomahawks, and painted figures and
pictures on the blazes with red and black paint, directly on the
War Path, which Lick was noted, and often mentioned and it also
was directly on the War Road, and on the trace leading from Estill's
Station by the Mulberry Lick, Hoys Lick, Station Camp Ford, oppo-
site the Little Picture Lick to Miller's Bottom on the Kentucky river,
and the mouth of Millers Creek, and so on. He seemed to be well ac-
quainted with the woods, the licks, traces, etc., in that wh^ofe section
as well as with Estill Station settlements. In April 1784, he
in company with Samuel Estill, Harris Massie, John Woods, William
McCreery and several others, among the others being Humphrey,
Baker, Colonel Estill, Alex Reid, Benjamin Estill, Benjamin Cooper,
Braxton Cooper, Sharswell Cooper, Patrick Woods, Charles Shurley,
V' Higgason Harris, Daniel Hancock and Jesse Noland, went in pur-
suit of an Indian Camp, near the mouth of Station Camp Creek, and
pursued the Indian trail up said creek, across the Red Lick Fork, for
some distance. Shortly after this scout, he and William Cradle-
m.^torii .and Genealogies • 281
bouih, a noted scout, woodsman and Indian fighter went the same
route, Cradlebough was an unusually hardy, brave and adventurous
spirit and well acquainted from Boonsborough to the Middle Fork of
the Kentucky, and up the latter deep into the country seldom trodden
by white men, and was one of the earliest pioneers, and who with
Brooks and Calloway, (Thomas Brooks and John Calloway) in 1780
had hunted and encafped for days and days, up the Middle Fork, and
made and named Rock Back Encampment, Williams Creek, Cabin
Creek were named by them, and Martin got much information from
Cradlebough of the woods, the Little Picture Lick, and other Licks,
the War Road and other traces, and of Indian habits.
In Nov. or Dec. 1780, Cradlebough, Thomas Brooks and .John
Calloway, hunted and spied into the wilds of the Middle Fork and
camped several days at a place on the south side of said fork, nearly
opposite where one McWillard was living in 1805, and at this place
they made a canoe in which they paddled up and down the river,
and they cut on a beech tree the first or initial letters of their
names: W. C. 1780, and J. C. and which they named Rock Back
Encampment, and then about four miles above on the south side of
the river at a Buffalo Lick on a branch near the mouth they marked
"Brooks 1780," and F. C." they camped in a botom about four miles
above the mouth of the creek, that they named Williams Creek
because William Cradlebough whilst out hunting first found it,
and here they encamped and cut down several trees, and cut on a
tree the letters W. C. B. (but in 1805 this was called upper Twins)
and on a creek they built a cabin and called the creek (I!abin Creek,
(which in 1805 was called Lower Twins.) At this place in an oak
and beech they cut out cutlets, and their initial letters, which marks
were there in 1805, the place is about three quarters of a mile up
from the mouth of the creek. When this party of three left Estill
Station on this hunt they no doubt went the trace that led by Aza-
riah Martins place, and the Litle Picture Lick.
In 1805 James McCormick and William Bryant were commiss-
ioned by the Court to take depo.sitions to perpetuate testimony and
with William Cradlebough went to Rock Back Encampment, and
there commenced the taking of the deposition of Cradlebough, and
adjournment from one to another of the Encampments of Cradle-
bough, Brooks and Calloway of 1780 made twenty five years
prior thereto, and found the facts as Cradlebough had described
to them two years previous, which their depositions and statements
prove. James McCormick then being on the Middle Fork, made this
statement in writing:
In the fall of 1798 James Trabue applied to him to survey for
him on the Middle Fork of the Kentucky, and furnished him with
several entries, one calling for a Buffalo Lick at the mouth of a
small creek on the north side with a tree marked thus "Brooks 1780"
which tree and lick he saw the same fall and the marks that were
on the tree appeared to be very old or old enough to have been mark-
ed at the same date. There were several entries that called for
another encampment, called the Rock Back Encampment which by
the direction of William Cradlebough he found at the same time
with W. C. 1780, and J. C. 1780, cut on a small beech tree, which
mark also appeared old enough for that date which Rock and Tree
William Cradlebough this day swore to in his presence, also the
bottom he surveyed for Daniel Trabue. with the trees fell down, was

It seems that the old scout and Indian fighter, Joseph Proctor,
who was 47 years old in 1805, and who had been in Kentucky ever
since before the big battle at Boonsborough, was perfectly familiar
with the geography and topography of the country from personal
observation and experience and knew all the stations, traces, licks,
water courses and all places of note and was a mighty hunter. Ac-
cording to Proctor, the Indians who travelled the south fork of
Station Camp generally crossed the river about the mouth of said
creek, and came through the Little Picture Lick up the creek oppo-
site where Azariah Martin lived in 1801, on the east side of the
creek through a large caney bottom, to the South Fork of Station
Camp. He describes the War Road and says, "what I mean by the
War Road, is that, that runs up the South Fork of Station Camp from
the Indian Picture Lick out at the head of the War Fork, and on out
to the Wilderness Road. Speaking of the place called Blue Banks
to which the Little Picture Lick is near he says, on a high ridge the
banks on the south side are naked to the blue, where the buffaloes
used to wallow. The same remains as he said in 1805 to this good
day 1907, one hundred and two years after he gave his deposition.
He located all the licks and traces in that whole section, and men-
tions a bark camp, nearly thirty yards long, (Indian Camp) on the
War Road. In 17 80 or 1781 he and Samuel Estill were pilots for
Colonel George Adams and his company of scouts, in pursuit of, and
on the trail of Indians, and night came on them when they had
reached a point above where Azariah Martin lived and above the
Forks of Station Camp Creek, and they lost the trail of the Indians,
but the next morning they found the Indian trail where they crossed
the Red Lick Fork. During the pursuit a free negro by the name of
Hines, and another man, by the name of John Dumford came to
Hines Lick and there Hines was killed by the Indians at the Lick,
from which occurence said lick took its name.
He and Peter Hackett speak of Shelby and Logan's campaign up
the Kentucky river. Hackett was on Station Camp in the fall of
1780, the fall after James Estill was killed and with the Shelby
Campaign in pursuit of Indians since then, when he passed up on
Station Camp by the Little Picture Lick. Azariah Martin had besides
other children, sons:

and best sense. Unostentatious and tolerant, bigotry and hypocrisy
had no part in his nature. He was not a
■'barren fig tree." His remains lie in the " _. _^
new cemetery at Fulton. His widow Mrs.
Mary Frances Harris entered into rest
Wednesday evening, Feb. 28, 1906, at
the residence of her son, William Chris-
topher Harris, 815 Court street, Fulton,
Mo., she was born in Boone County, Mo.
Nov. 10, 1827. She had more than com-
pleted the period alloted by the Psalmist
as the limit to human life, when quietly
and peacefully she fell asleep in Jesus.
At the age of thirteen she was converted
and united with the Baptist church, being
baptized by Rev. Robert Thomas and ever
afterwards was a devoted, earnest and
consecrated christian. She was educated
at Bonne Femme Academy, a most ex-
cellent school, and Columbia College.
After her marriage the remainder of her
life was spent in Calloway County, the
last thirty nine years at the family resi-

dence on Court Street in the city of Fulton. Mrs. Harris Possessed
a strong personality, she belonged to that class of women whose
voices still speak to us from the past. Erect and graceful, even
in her declining years she retained in large part that refined beauty
of form and face that had marked her early and matured woman-
hood. Of her a former pastor and friend said: "she had a clear mind,
a good judgment, unflinching devotion to duty, a laudable ambition,
unselfishness and a faith that towered in majesty and beauty. A
grander character I have never known, and her influence can never
die. She approached as nearly to perfection in the art of mother-
hood as is attainable in a sinful world. Her love for and pride in
her children was beautiful and in her old age she felt that she was
amply repaid for all her toils and anxieties." Another pastor and
friend said: "softened by sorrow, and refined by affection, her life
was a benediction to all who came in contact with her, she left to
her children the richest legacy, one can leave to posterity, the frag-
rance of a pure, beautiful and useful life." On Friday March 2,
1906, after simple services at the family residence conducted by
her pastor, in the family lot, in the cemetery at Fulton while the
last rays of the setting sun gave promise of another day her sacred
dust was committed to mother earth, there to rest until the "resur-
rection morn.
"And is she dead whose glorious mind and soul lifts them on high?
To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die."
Their children are set forth in Chapter 37.

290 Hisfonj (ind Genealogies
Excerpt from A. C. Quisenberry's History:
"Whilst on the move from Virginia to Kentucliy, in Dec. 1780, at
Holston, Virginia in the re-organization there of the old Providence
Church of Primitive Baptists (Separatists) Mary Harris was one of
the re-organizers, and then and there Elder Robert Elkin was chosen
pastor of the flock. (The :Mary Harris named, was not the wife of
Rev. Christopher's father, for his first wife had been dead a long
while). She is perhaps the Mary Harris who became the wife of
William Woods..
On account of intelligence of various Indian incursions and
molestations of the infant settlements of the interior of Kentucky
and especially of Boonsborough, the destination of most of the
company, this organization rested at Holston until 1783, where
they in the time raised three crops of corn, then in a body moved on
to Craig's Station on Gilbert's Creek, in Lincoln County, Ky. where
they remained until Nov. 12, 17 85, when a minor part of the church
departed for South Western Kentucky, and the Major portion moved
on to the waters of Lov.-er Howard's Creek, in what is Clark County,
Ky. not very far from Boonsborough, where new church officers were
elected and the organization named J oward's Creek Church, after-
wards Providence. In 1787, they constructed of logs a house of wor-
ship, probably the first house of worship built by white settlers on
Kentucky soil.
Shortly after the arrival at Lower Howard's Creek, a great
spiritual revival in the church commenced, lasting something like
two years, and many were baptized into the fellowship of the saints,
including the names, Christopher Harris, Squire Boone, Junior,
(Nephew of the great pioneer Colonel Daniel Boone.) The preach-
ing brethern were Elders .lames Quisenberry, Andrew Tribble, Rob-
ert Elkin etc."
Christopher Harris placed his membership in Dreaming Creek
Church, (Mt. Nebo) located in Madison County, about one or two
miles North east of the city of Richmond, on the farm now owned by
Irvine Miller Hume, and George Larkin Hume, on Dreaming Creek,
prong of Otter Creek.
The Primitive Baptist Church, at Viney Fork, in Madison County,
Ky. was organized March 2.5, 1797, the first preliminary steps were
taken Jan. 2 2, preceding, with the help of Elders Peter Woods and
Christopher Harris from Dreaming Creek, and Andrew Tribble and
Isaac Newland from Tates Creek, and on the second Saturday of
Aug, 1797, Elder Christopher Harris was called as pastor, which call
he accepted and faithfully ministered to the flock, until the second
Saturday of Nov. 1813.
Further Excerpt from History:
"In May 179 6, Christopher Harris was chosen moderator of the
Tates Creek Association serving for ten years as such, when, about
1816, he moved to the Green River Country, and united with Mt.
Zion Church, in Warren County, and the next year was elected mod-
erator of Gasper River association, and was continued as such until.
1820, when he and his churches entered into the constitution of
Drakes Creek association, of which he was chosen Moderator for
five successive vears, his career being closed by a call to appear
before the Courts above, in about the year 1726, thus ending his
labor below. The children of Christopher Harris and Elizabeth

The immen-se fortune amassed by the bachelor, William
Jennings, of Acton Place, London, England, mentioned in Art. 1 was
claimed through his niece, Sarah Jennings the second wife of Cor-
nelius Dabney, senior, and the only child and daughter of Charles
Jennings brother to William, of Acton Place; many heroic efforts
have been made by the American descendants of said Sarah to recov-
er the fortune from England but all have been abortive. As late
as 1875, Sis and McCliesh of the agency for prosecution and recovery
of claims in the United States, Great Britian, its Colonies and foreign
states (of Georgetown, D. C.) represented heirs in America, and
were in correspondence with many, and one with whom they corres-
ponded was the late Hon. Thomas C. Maupin, then living in Vaca-
ville, Salano County, California, (who died in 1885 in his 89th year)
The agents were urging him to give his deposition so as to perpetuate
his evidence. They enclosed to Mr. Maupin notes of statements which
they said the late Dr. Charles Brown (of Albemarle) had made.

JOHN HARRIS.
1765-1810.
(Named in Sec. 1, Art. 4, Chap. 4.)
Article 1. — John Harris a son of the old Kentucky pioneer Chris-
topher Harris and Agnes McCord, his second wife, was also
a pioneer, Kentuckian coming from Albemarle County, Va. in
the Harris imniigi'ation, named in Chapter 2.
Having married in the state of Vir-
ginia, Margaret Maupin, born 1767, died
185 8, a daughter of John Maupin and
Frances Dabney his wife, named in Sec-
tion 4, Chapter 15. (See also. Part V,
Chap. 4, Sec. 13.) John Harris was one
of the executors of the will of his father
described in Chapter 4. He was often
commissioned by the Court to take de-
positions and to render other service. In
1802 he and John Kincaid met on Silver
Creek at Squire Boone's mill seat and
took the deposition of Squire Boone. He
represented Madison County in the Ken-
tucky Legislature in 1799. He and his
wife were members of tne Viney Fork
Baptist Church. He was a signer of
the Albemarle Declaration of Independ-
ence April 21, 177 9.
About the year 1809, he in company
with his son Overton, went in a Flat Boat
down the Ohio River to the Mississippi
and down the latter to New Orleans, on a business trip. On their
return towards home, John Harris died very suddenly and his flesh
and bones were buried in the Mississippi swamps, with nothing to
mark the place of his interment, and his grave has never since been
found. His son, Overton, with a sad heart came on back home, and
related the terrible news to his mother and the rest of the family,
which was indeed shocking and sorrowful news. His wife was left
a grief stricken widow. However, a kind providence had left her
with a number of excellent sons and daughters to minister to her
wants and comfort, and protect her, and by whom she was tenderly
and kindly cared for her remaining days. She lived something
like fifty years after this occurence, and died at the ripe age of up-
wards of ninety years, staying with her children, but most of the
time at her son Christopher's where she had a house built purposely
for her, in the yard near the main house called Grand-ma's house,
and which she always occupied when not away at some one of her
children's home.
After her husbands death, her son James, had gone into the Black
Hawk War and in Canada was captured by the Indians by whom he
was held in captivity for two years . She and her son Christopher
were the administrators and wound up the estate of her deceased
husband, to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. Will Woods,
John Brown, Thomas Collins and John Moberley were the appraisers
of the estate. She brought with her from Virginia an old fashioned

gracefully formed tea kettle, now in the possession of the writer
which he received from his Aunt Sarah Oldham, a granddaughter
of Margaret Maupin Harris, which is very ancient.
The obituary notice of Mrs. Margaret Harris published in the
town paper, after her death, reads as follows:
"Obituary"
"Died on the fifth inst. at the residence of her son-in-law. Colonel
James Miller, in Lincoln County, Ky. Mrs. Margaret Harris, aged
88 years, 9 months and 24 days. The deceased was born in Albemarle
County, Va. on the first day of Feb. 1767, and was the widow of
John Harris,one of the Judges of the Madison Circuit Court, (Court
01 Quarter Sessions) under the old Constitution of Kentucky to
whom she was married in 1785, and whom she accompanied to
Kentucky in the fall of 1795. In 1800, she became a member of
the old Regular Baptist Church at Viney Fork, in Madison County,
Ky. under ministration of the Rev. Christopher Harris, by whom she
was baptized, and remained a most exemplary and consistent member
of that church in full faith and fellowship until the day of her
death. She was a woman of extraordinary good sense and energy of
character, and of unswerving devotion in the dischage of every
duty, which she owed to religion, to humanity, and to her family,
friends, and neighbors, by whom she was universally beloved and
respected, and indeed by all who knew her. It is the lot of few to
live to so great an age; so uniformly in the enjoyment of all their
faculties so that during her long widow-hood she was equal to all
the cares and responsibilities of her situation. She was an object
of love and veneration to her numerous descendants, of whom she
left six living children and three or four great, great, grand children.
May those who survive her learn from her example not only to
live the life of a christian, but to die the death of one. The Savior
said of young children "of such is the Kingdom of Heaven" but when
one has lived almost a century as blameless as "one of those little
ones" and at last meets death willingly and composed and in the
full hope of Heaven, surely to such it will be said "well done thou
good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of thy Lord, thy dwell-
ing is the secret place of the Most High, abide under the shadow of
the Almighty forever." Her remains were interred on the 7th inst.
on the farm of her son, Major William Harris of this County.
John Haris settled on the head waters of Hickory Lick in Madison
County, Ky., as early as 1790, as appears from the Court records.

she is a domestic adornment. When quite a maiden, she married
Mr. Harry Bush, (becoming his seceond wife) a good man of high

CHRISTOPHER HARRIS.
(Named in Sec. 4, Chap. 28.)
Article 1. — Chi'ist()i)hei' Hari'is, a son of Judge Christopher Harris
and Sally Wallace his wife, was born in Madison County, Ky,
April 20, 181J>, was nevei" married.
He was the very essence of courage, though kind and a true
friend to those of whom he was a friend, a perfect stranger to fear
he knew no fear, except the fear of God. Was a strong muscular
man, and greatly admired for many excellent qualities, as a man.
He left Madison County and went to Lincoln or Garrard. One day,
the 16th of .luly 1860, in a thicket in Garrard County his body was
found, but the living principle which once occupied it was gone,
stripped of his money and other valuables. The cause thereof was
never known. He might have died of heart disease of which it is
said he was affected, or he might have been murdered and robbed.
His death is likely to remain a mystery in time to all save the om-
nipotent, omiscient and omnipresent God.

mand of Captain Jesse, on the way from

superior force of Federals, who poured
into Captain Jesse's men, hot heavy and
vivid discharges from their guns, com-
pletely routing them, killing several of
the men on the spot, in which engage-
ment, John Miller Wallace Harris re-
ceived a deadly wound, from which he lingered about one week and
expired. His remains were buried near the spot where he breathed
his last, and have never been removed by any of the family.

stationed at Fort Washington, at said place for the defense of the
settlers, were about to abandon their post for want of supplies, who
went down in canoes from six to ten miles into what are now Ken-

at Shiloh in the Civil War, was mortalyy wounded at Shiloh after
a gallant stand against the enemy. (A-c)

Section 9. Llew Wallace, born in 1827, was a lawyer of Indiana,
politican, soldier and man of letters. He volunteered in the Civil

Section 10. Alfred Russel Wallace, an English Naturalist, born
at Usk Monmouthshire, Jan. 8, 1822. He was employed for several
years in the architectural office of his brother, and then devoted
himself to natural history. In 1848, he accompanied Mr. H. W.
Bates in a scientific expedition to Brazil, where after a protracted
sojourn in Para, he explored the primeval forests of the Amazon and
Rio Negro, returning to England in 1852. His valuable collections
especially rich in the departments of Ornithology and botany, were
in great part destroyed by shipwreck. In 1853, he published "Travels
of the Amazon and Rio Negro," and "Palm Trees of the Amazon and"
their Uses," and in 1854 undertook a journey to the East Indies,
where for a period of nearly eight years he explored the greater part
of the i.slands constituting the Malay Archipelago, and portions of
Paupa. While pursuing his researches relative to the fauna and
flora of these regions, Mr. Wallace, unaware of Darvin's previous
labors, in the same direction, attempted the solution of the problem
of the origin of species, and arrived at almost the same general
conclusions which were simultaneously reached by that naturalist.
His paper 'On the tendency of varieties to depart indefinately from
the original Type," transmitted through Sir Charles Lyell to the
Linnoean Society, was read before that body on July 1, 1858, coin-
cidently with the reading of Mr. Darvin's paper, "On the tendency of
species to form varieties, and on the perpetuation of species and vari-
eties by means of natural selection." Though recognizing the
efficacy of Natural selection in producing most of the changes attrib-
uted to its action, by Mr. Darvin he denies its competence to effect
without the joint agency of some higher cause, the transition to man
from the Anthropoid Apes. In 1862, Mr. Wallace returned to Eng-
land, where for several years he was mainly engaged in the classifi-
cation of his collection which embraced upwards of 100,000 entomo-
logical specimens, and more than 8,000 birds. The result of his
Eastern explorations were partially embodied in "The Malay .Arch-
3o2 Histonj and Genealogies
ipelago, the Land of the Orang-Utan, and the Bird of Paradise,"
(1869). Mr. Wallace has of late been prominently associated with
the believers in the so-called spiritualistic phenomena, to the exami-
nation of which he has devoted special attention. His observations
were published in a series of essays in the "Fortnightly Review" for
1874 reprinted as "Miracles and Modern Spiritualism." (1875) In
18 68, he received the royal medal from the Royal Society, and in
1870 the gold medal from the Geographical Society of Paris. In
1870, he published "Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selec-
tions." His elaborate work, "On the Geographical Distribution of
Animals," appeared in 1876, in English, French and German. (A-c)
Section 11. Horace Binney Wallace, an American Author, born
in Philadephia Feb. 26, 1817; died in Paris Dec. 16, 1852. He grad-
uated at Princeton College and studied law, but never practiced.
In connection with Judge Hare he edited and annotated "American
Leading Cases," "Smith's Leading Cases" and "White and Tudor's
Leading Cases in Equity," which have passed through numerous
editions. He published anonomously "Stanley, or the Recollections
of a Man of the World," a novel, (Philadelphia 1838) and after his
death were published "Art and Scenery in Europe, with Other Pa-
pers," and "Literary Criticisms" and other papers. (1856.) (A-c)
Section 12. Sir William Wallace, a Scottish patriot, born about
1270, executed at Smithfield Aug. 23, 1305. He was of Anglo-
Norman decent, the younger son of Sir Malcolm Wallace, knight of
Ellerslie. While at the high school in Dundee, in an altercation he
stabbed the son of the English Governor of Dundee Castle and fled.
For sometime he was an outlaw, in the fastnesses of the Southern
Higlands, and his accomplishments, personal prowess, and bravery-
drew around him a considerable number of followers, including sev-
eral men of note. After the insurrection broke out in 1297, he at-
tacked the English Justiciary holding Court at Scone, took many-
prisoners, and killed many more. At the same time Sir William Dou-
glas, and others of his adherents surprised and compelled the sur-
render of the English garrisons in the castles of Durisdeer and San-
quhar. Edward I, sent into Scotland an armv of 40,000 men with a
small cavalry troop, under Sir Henry Percy and Sir Robert Clifford.
The Scottish force had assembled at Lochmaben, and on the approach
of the English a night attack was made by Wallace, who was forced
to fall back toward Irvine in Ayrshire. Dissensions arose among the
Chiefs in the Scottish army and a treaty was agreed upon. Wallace
and Murray of Bothwell, alone of the leaders protested and retired
into the Northern Counties where they speedily recruited a power-
ful force, and surprised and captured the English garrisons at Aber-
deen, Dunnoltar, Forfar, and Montrose. Wallace had begun the seige
of Dundee, when he heard of the advance of a pov- -ful English army
toward the River Forth, in the direction of Stirling. He at once
abandoned the siege and recruiting as he went reached Stirling with
40,000 foot, and 180 horse. The English 50,000 foot and 1,000
horse, were under the command of the earl of Surrey. Several
titled deserters from the Scottish army, who were with Surrey, were
deputed to persuade Wallace to capitulate, a free pardon being offer-
ed unconditionally in the name of the English King. The terms were
rejected and a large portion of Surrey's force crossed the river, and
fought the great battle of Cambus Kenneth, or Strotingbridge, Sept.
10, 1297. From their advantageous position Wallace's men
drove them back, and pursued them to the border town of Berwick.
King Edward's forces were almost completely cut to pieces and Wal-
lace by general consent, in the absence of the lawful Monarch (John

then in the tower of London) was declared guardian of the King-
dom of Scotland. A severe famine following suggested the in-
vasion of the Northern Counties of England, Wallace laid waste
the country, from the borders to New Castle and returned with his
spoils to attempt an organization of Scotland.
Meanwhile Edward had raised an army of 80,000 infantry and
7,000 horse, a portion of this force, landed by sea, on the North East
coast and suifered a partial reverse, but the main body advanced
Northward from the border and on July 2 2, 1289, came up with the
Scottish forces near Falkirk, where a decisive engagement was fought,
in which the army of Wallace was defeated with a loss according to
various historians of 15,000. For several years after this Wallace
carried on a guerilla warfare, and he also went to Paris, to secure
French intervention. In Feb. 1304, he was declared an outlaw.
Large rewards were offered by Edward for his arrest, and he was
ultimately betrayed by Sir John Moutieth. The day after his arrival
in London, the form of a trial was gone through in Westminster
Hall, the prisoner in derision of his pretensions to the throne of
Scotland being decorated with a crown of laurel. He was condemned
to death, and the same day dragged at the tail of a horse to West
Smithfield and then hung, drawn and quartered. His hand was set
upon London bridge and his limbs were exposed at New Castle. Ber-
wick, Perth and Sterling. (A-c)
Section 13. William Vincent Wallace, an Irish composer in
Waterford in 1815, died at the Chateau de Bayen Haute, Garoune,
France, Oct. 12, 1865. He received his earliest musical instruction
from his father, a military band master, and at the age of 15 could
play on every instrument of the orchestra and had written numerous
compositions for military bands, as a performer on the piano, forte
and violin, he showed great excellence. At the age of 18, on account
of failing health he went to New South Wales, and was long en-
gaged in agricultural pusuits. He gave his first concert at Sydney
with great success, and thenceforth travelled extensively over the
Southern Hemisphere deriving large emoluments in the Spanish
American cities from his performances on the violin and piano forte
After a professional four in the United States he returned in IS45,
to England, where his first opera "Montana" was produced with
great success . He then produced in rapid succession "Matilda of
Hungary" "The Maid of Zurich," "Gulnare" and "Olga," several of
which were performed in Germany, and elsewhere in Continental
Europe. In 1849, he was commissioned to write an opera for the
grand opera of Paris, but had scarcely begun the work when he
became blind. For the puri)ose of recovering his eyesight, he made
a voyage to Rio de Janerio,- whence he in 1850 came to the United
States. Several years later he returned to England wheri' in 1854,
his "Lurline" and in 1861, his "Amberwick," were brought out. In
1862, he produced "Loves Triumph" and in 1863, "The Desert
Flower." (A-c)

356 History and Genealogies
nent part in the affairs of Texas, and in the encounters with the
predatory bands of Indians and Mexicans, that his name was made

magnanimity; it means fill us with beans one day, and bullets the
next." And who in 1844 led the last remnant of the nearly starved
and naked prisoners of Mier back across the Rio Grande, and upon
reaching the Lone Star got down on their knees and kissed her soil,

CHAPTEK 2.
THE WALLACE FAMILY.
.Article 1 . — This family is of Anglo-Xoniiaii-Scotch-Irish blood, and
bv iiiaiiy of the name, believetl that their lineage rims back to
Sir Malcolm Wallace, Knight of Ellerslie, of the thii'teenth cen-
tiiiy, father of the noble Highlander, Sir Willianr AVallace, Scot-
tish Cliieftain, patriot and martyr.
The family in all its branches, and generations have been noted
for courage, gallantry and patriotism, many have sacrificed their
lives for their country. A braver, and more gallant soldier than a
Wallace, never enlisted in an army.
The father of our family, Peter Wallace, a Scottish Highlander,
born in about 16S0, who spent the latter part of his life in Xorth
Ireland, and died there a short time before the closing of the first
quarter of the Eighteenth Century, married Elizabeth Woods,
a daughter of .lohn Woods and Elizabeth Worsop his wife. The
said John Woods was the son of an English Trooper, who came to
Ireland, and was in the army of invasion of Oliver Cromwell, 1649.
A fuller history of John Woods and Elizabeth Worsop his wife is
given in Part II, Chapters 2 and 3. Of the issues of the marriage
of Peter Wallace and Elizabeth Woods, (who was born and married
in Ireland) was at least six children. After the death of her husband.
Peter Wallace, Elizabeth, then a widow, and her six children, and
may be more, with her brothers, Michael Woods, James Woods, Wil-
liam Woods and Andrew Woods, in about the closing days of the first
quarter of the Eighteenth Century, bid adieu to the country of their
nativity, and their clans, and emigrated, sailing across the mighty
Atlantic, to a port in the New World, America, touching first the
Colony of Pennsylvania, where Elizabeth rested for several years.
Her sons William, Andrew, etc., and her brother Michael Woods,
having moved into the valley of Virginia and settled in Goochland,
now Albemarle and Rockbridge Counties, on each side of the Blue
Ridge Mountains; she in a few years followed, went to Rockbridge
County, and selected a home just across the Blue Ridge mountains
from the home of her brother. Three of her sons and one of her
daughters had married their first cousins, children of their Uncle
Michael Woods, and Mary Campbell his wife, of whom more will
be told in the Chapters following. Her children who came over
with her from Ireland were:
Section 1. William Wallace: married Hannah Woods. (See
Part II, Chap. 4, Sec. 4.) The subject of Chapter ?,.

"Sketch of thf \Aiv of William Walla<«>."
"I became acquainted with Big Foot Wallace in 1849. I think
his real name was William, but am not certain as to that. He
was from Virginia to Texas, in the year about 1835. He had a
brother and cousin who were in Fannin's massacre at Goliad*
and he came to Texas to avenge their death. He spent his life
understanding their mode of fighting best.
Maier prisoners of Mexico, while in prison he drev a white bean,
360 History and Genealogies
Mexican's shot their prisoners in those days, except those draw-
ing white beans. Every tenth bean was white (black) and every
one who drew a white one was spared. He being one of the
lucky ones. He served through the Mexican War, belonging to
Ben McCulloch's Company and Jack Hay's Regiment of Texas
Rangers. I understand he was a descendant of the Wallaces
of Scotland. He was about six feet, two inches tall, weighed
about 2 00 lbs., raw bone, and a powerful man. My first associ-
ation with him was at Austin, Texas, our Capital where he was
camped under a big Live Oak Tree. He was fond of hunting
and there being plenty of game he kept himself in amunition in
this way, and was always ready to go for the Indians. While
in camp at Austin, he fell in love with a girl, he made up his
mind the next time he called on her, he would propose to her,
but he was called out, and before he got back he took fever and
all his hair came out, so he decided not to go back until his
hair grew out again, as he was a hard looking customer any
way. He went up on the Colorado river to a cave in which he
had stayed often, this cave being on an Indian trail. Then he
greased his head with bear's oil, thinking that would grow
hair, but it failed to do the work, and while he was in this
cave, they made up a scout in Austin and he went with them
upon the Llano river about 150 miles above Austin, Texas. They
wanted him with them because he was a good scout and Indian
trailer. When they reached the Llano river the Indians began
tQ shoot up smokes, which could be seen for miles around, these
smokes were signals used by the Indians as their knowledge
of the enemy being in the country. So Wallace and his men
struck camps for the night. Wallace told the Captain of the
scout that he wanted to get up the following morning about two
hours before day, prospecting and looking for signs of Indians,
as he knew there were plenty of them in the surroundings.
The Llano river is a tributary of the Colorado river, which is
surrounded by a very rough and mountainous country and ex-
ceedingly deep gulches. On the morning he was awakened and
started for a trail and while he was rounding the bend in one
of these gulches which made a very short and narrow bend, he
found himself face to face with a very large Indian, being too
close to each other to use their fire arms, and also, being some-
what surprised, they each stood eyeing the other for a minute
and then they made a dash at each other and clinched. Wallace
stated that he could throw his enemy very easily, but on account
of the Indian being naked and greased with bear's oil, which
made him so very slick that he could not hold him on the
ground. After throwang him several times repeatedly and
finding that he was not accomplishing much, he decided he
must try some other means of conquering his enemy, or else
he would never peruse the smiling countenance of his lovely
maiden in Austin, Texas, again: after clinching once more his
breath coming short, he made a desperate effort to throw the
Indian as hard as possible, and in this he succeeded, throwing
him very hard with his head upon a rock, which rendered him
unconscious, this affording Wallace an opportunity to get his
knife, he did so, and stabbed the Indian a death blow, but the
Indian revived for a little, and stood throwing himself upon
Wallace once more, he drew his knife, but being too weak by
this time, he fell dead with the knife in hand which planted
its point in the earth.
Wallace stated that he buried him to the best of his abil-
History and Genealogies 361
ity with chunks and rocks, and then returned to camp with a
report of his mornings adventures. The scouting partj' remain-
ed in this camp for about one week, but accomplished very little,
as the Indians had discovered them and fled. Wallace said
afterwards that on account of his hair being so slow in growing
out that he lost the pride of his heart, as some oth r man had
captured her during his absence. He afterwards wps captured
by the Indians who were very much afraid of him. and at their
Chief's command he was tied to a stake to be ') irned alive.
The Indians then begun to bring their wood and fuel, piling
it around him when an old Indian squaw interferred by begging
for his life, pleading with the chief not to kill him, but turn
him over to her. She succeeded in her pleadings and Wallace
remained with her and chumned with one of her sons who was
near his own age for about six months, but all the time he was
watching his chances of escape, so finding an opportunity he
left them and returned to his own Texas settlements.
Wallace died in Freeo County, Texas, south west of San
Antonio, Texas, on his ranch last February two years ago,
1904, having reached the age of eighty years and never was
married, but lived the lonesome life of a bachelor. Wallace was
a fearless, but kind hearted man, spending the earliest and best
days of his life on the frontiers of Texas, protecting the many
helpless settlers therein.
I have given you the history of Wallace to the best of my re-
membrance from first acquaintance with him, but I am sorry
to say that most of the dates I have forgotten. The other
parties yoti refer to I have either forgotten, or else was never
associated with them. I forgot to state that on one of his
scouting trips with a company he killed a very large Indian
who had an enormous foot, hence his name Big Foot Wallace.
Yours Truly,
January 11, 1907. D. McFadden.
Captain McFadden, the veteran of three wars, was a comrade,
associate, and chum of Wallace, and he himself had had many thrill-
ing experiences on the Texas frontiers, and had many engagements
with the Comanches and Mexicans, and was no mean scout. He
is now resting at his home in McLennon County, enjoying the com-
forts of home, peace and happiness, the reward of the services of
such men as himself and Wallace.

ident of the William B. Travis Chapter, Daughters of the Republic
of Texas, Austin, Texas, Capital "State Librarian."
"William A.. "Big Foot" Wallace."
William A. Wallace was born in Lexington, Rockbridge County,
Va., in the year 1S16. He went to Texas in 1836, a few months
after the battle of San Jacinto, for the purpose, he says, of taking
pay out of the Mexicans for the murder of his brother, and his
cousin. Major Wallace, both of whom fell at "Fannin's Massacre."
He landed first at Galveston, from Galveston. Wallace went to La
Grange, then a frontier village, where he resided until the spring of
1839, when he moved to Austin, just before the seat of Government
was established at that place. He remained at Austin until the
spring of 18-10, when finding that the country was settling up around
him too fast to suit his notions, he went over to San Antonio, where
he resided until he entered the serivce. He was in the battle of
36'^ IJi.ston/ am] Gciiciilni/ics
Salado, in the fall of 1842. In the fall of 1842, he volunteered In
the "Mier Expedition." After his return from Mexico, he joinea
Colonel .Jack Hays's Ranging Company, and was with it in many
of those desperate encounters with the Comanches and other Indians,
in which Hays, Walker, McCulloch and Chevalier gained their repu-
tation as successful Indian fighters. When the Mexican War broke
out in 1846, Wallace joined Colonel Hay's regiment of mounted
volunteers, and was with it at the storming of Monterey, where he
says he took full toll out of the Mexicans for killing his brother and
cousin at Goliad in 183 6.
After the Mexican War ended, he had command of a ranging
company for some time, and did good service in protecting the fron-
tiers of the state from the incursions of the savages. Subsequently
he had charge of the mail from San Antonio to El Paso, and though
often waylaid and attacked by Indians, he always brought it through
in safety. He is now (1870) living upon his little ranch, thirty
miles west of San Antonio.

and died Anj;. 2, 1809, as liereafter i>rov«'n.
He married Jane Bratton in Virginia and aliout or prior to 1790,
emigrated from Albemarle to Madison County, Kentucky, and set-
tled on the head waters of a prong of Otter Creek, where the City
of Richmond was built. On the 2nd of July, 179.'], he acquired for
1000 pounds current money, oOO acres of land from Colonel John
Miller, (the founder of Richmond) and his wife Jenny, on the
waters of Otter Creek, adjoining David Trotter's land, and Hoy's
pre-emption. (The Dillingham addition to the city of Richmond, now
covering a portion of said land,) and upon which land, Michael
Wallace and his wife, Jane Bratton lived and died and upon which
their remains were buried, just back of the old Edmund L. Shackel-
ford house, some 100 or more yards from the Irvine pike. The
stones marking their graves still remain, although the stone to
his wife's grave is broken, and they show, that Michael Wallace
died Aug. 2, IS 09, in the 5 7th year of his age, proof that he was
born in 1752. The date of his birth was about four years subse-
quent to the date of the deed to his father and mother from Michael
Woods to 400 acres of land in Albemarle County, Va., mentioned in
Chapter 6.
(Rev. Neander M. Woods, in his Woods — McAfee memorial, to
which we are much indebted for valuable data: supposes that this
Michael Wallace went from Virginia to Pennsylvania and was the
father of Andrew, of Carlisle, ancestor of General Llew Wallace,
author, man of letters and soldier, but gives no account of his wife,
which supi)osition is error, because this Michael Wallace came and
settled in Madison County, Ky., as above stated.)
The stone shows that Jane Wallace his wife died Feb. 12, 1836,
in the 75th year of her age, proving her birth in 1761. She survived
her husband 27 years. . Michael Wallace was at an early day ap-

the Scottish Highlander who <lie<l in Ireland, and Elizabeth
Wo<ds the widoAV emigrant from Ireland to America, his wife.
was born in Irelaiul in 1719, and die<l in 1784.
He was an emigrant from Ireland to America, as related in Chap-
ter 2. He married Martha Woods, daughter of his uncle Michael
Woods, after his death called Michael Woods of Blair Park, and
Mary Campbell of the Scottish Clan Campbell, from Argylshire,
Scotland, his wife. See Part II, Chap. 4, Sec. 9. The said Mart.ia was
born in 1720, and died in 1790. He moved with his mother from
Pennsylvania to Rockbridge County, Va. Of the marriage nine child-
ren were the fruits, accounrs of whom are given in the coming sec-
tions:
Section 1. Malcom Wallace. He was in the army under General
Morgan at Boston, and died there in the service of his countrv in
1775.
Section 2. Samuel Wallace, born in 1745. He married Rebeka
Anderson, v%'ho died in 178 6. He was an officer in the Revolutionary
Army, and commanded at Fort Young on the Virginia Frontier,
during the French and Indian War.
Section 3. James (or Hugh) Wallace was an ensign in the Third
Virginia Regiment, and died of smallpox in Philadelphia in 1776.
Section 4. Adam Wallace. The captain of a Rockbridge Com-
pany in the tenth Virginia, and was killed by Tarleton's Troops,
while bravely fighting against fearful odds, at the Waxhaw, South
Carolina, May 29, 1780.
His sword, or espontoon, used on that bloody day was in the pos-
session of John A. R. Varner, of Lexington, Va., a descendant of his
brother, Samuel, a few years ago. Wallace's company was composed
of fifty Rockbridge men. Colonel Buford's Regiment had been de-
tached from the Northern Army and ordered to go to the relief of
the beleaguered garrison at Charleston, South Carolina. On their
way they learned that General Lincoln had cai)itulated, and Colonel
Buford was ordered to fall back again toward the North. Corn-
wallis hearing of Buford's • retreat, sent his dashing unscruinilous
cavalry officer, Colonel Tarlton, with three hundred picked men in
pursuit, and after a forced march of one hundred miles he over cok
Buford at Waxhaw, South Carolina. Before Buford and his Virgin-
ians could prei'are for the attack the British cavalry was upon .hem
from front and rear, and both flanks. The Virginians delivered rheir
fire, but before they could reload Tarlton's cavalry men were on them
with their pistols and swords. Out of four hundred men of Buford's
command, three hundred were killed or wounded. The wounded
were hacked to pieces in the most inhuman manner.
It was in this terrible encounter that Captain Adam Wallace
fell. He was a young man of twenty-five years, and stood six feet
two inches in his stockings, — the very picture of vigorous manhood.
Colonel Buford seeing his men in confusion, fled early in the
fight, but young Wallace disdained to flee, and standing his ground
met steel with steel. His trusty sword was wielded with tremendous
vigor, and he managed to kill a number of Tarlton's dragoons

before he received the fatal blow which ended his noble young life
Four brothers of young Andrew, towit: Malcolm, Samuel,
Andrew and James (or Hugh), sons of Peter Wallace, Jr., and
Martha Woods, his wife, sacrificed their lives for the independence
of their country.
In a speech delivered in the Virginia House of Delegates by late
Governor James MacDowell, occurs this sentence concerning the
brave young soldier who owned that sword.
"That dark and dismal page in the history of the Revolution,
that carnival of cruel and unjustifiable slaughter, stamped with the
name of Waxhaw, is illuminated only by the splendid herois;n of
a soldier from the valley of Virginia, whom I am proud to claim as
a kinsman, Captain Adam Wallace, of Rockbridge."
Of all the members of the Wallace-Woods Clans, none had a
nobler record, in the great struggle for freedom from the British
Yoke, than did Peter Wallace, Junior, and his wife Martha Woods,
who gave five brave sons to that sacred cause: Samuel, Malcolm,
Andrew, James (or Hugh), and Adam. (Woods-McAfee Memorial,
by Rev. N. M. W.)

THOMAS K. WALLACE.
(Named in Chap. 8, Sec. 9.)
Article 1 . — Thcnia.s K. Wallace, a son of Andrew Wallace and Jane
Reid his wife, was born in Madison County, Ky., Aug. 20, 1831.
He left the County when about five years of age, in 1836, with
his parents, and went to Irvine, Estill County, Ky., and when he was
about eleven years of age his father died the 10th day of Oct. 1842;
he was educated principally in Irvine, going to school in the winter
and working in the fall and winter until about twenty-four years of
age; in Jan. 1855, hoping to improve his opportunities he emigrated
to Missouri and stopi)ed on the Grand Prarie, in the Northern part
of Boone County, where he engaged in farming until the Civil War
broke out; in 1862, he went with the South and enlisted in the Con-
federate Army, he remained in the army to the end of the struggle,
when he returned to Boone County. Before the war, on the 28th of
Feb. 1858, he was married to Margaret Bryson, she was born in
Howard County, Mo., the 8th day of June 1833, she was a daughter
of Solomon Bryson. Her parents were born and reared in Madison
County, Ky. Solomon Bryson's parents died when he was very young,
Histori/ and Gfncalogies 377
he fell in battle.
and he was raised an orphan and knew but little of his people.
His wife was a Miss Hendren, related to the old Madison County
family of that name. Mr. Bryson and his wife left Madison County,
Ky., about 1S31, and she heard after that but little from 1" r people,
and lost trace of her genealogy.
Thomas K. Wallace was trying to make a start in ■ he world,
and provide for his wife and little children, and wa" not at all
inclined to join the army, but the circumstances aid conditions
were such that it seemed impossible for a southern-righ.s man, (he
being one) to remain at home in peace and safety. The radical
party had become oppressive, the guerrillas were scouring the
country, breaking into and pillaging houses, taking any and every
thing they wanted, and many things they didn't want, and mistreat-
ing the people opjjosed to their methods. That did not suit young
Wallace, therefore, taking his gun and best horse he joined in v<ith
others, who bethought themselves to make the pillagers afraid to
leave the station on the Pacific Railroad, near which was Mr. Wal-
lace's home, but the pillagers were soon re-enforced and there re-
mained in the summer of 1862, the only alternative for Wallace to
enlist in the southern army. So, in the fall he joined a company
that was being made up to go South, this company started out
travelling at night to keep from being seen as much as possible,
and succeeded in crossing the river, but after the first night the
enemy got on their trail, and sent runners to stations ahead, and
they had to fight night and day. In an engagement in the evening
of the third day, Mr. Wallace was wounded in the right arm, cap-
tured and carried to a station and held there as a prisoner about two
weeks, when a start was made with the prisoners for Jefferson
City. On the way late in the evening when the sun was sinking
beneath the Western horizon, and all were weary, and the bushes by
the way were thick, the guards riding and the prisoners afoot,
Wallace watching and waiting his chance, sprang out into the thicket
and made his escape, by concealing himself in a gully and as it was
growing dark, the search for him was soon ended, and he winded
his way in a south easterly direction for several miles, and finally
oame to a house, around which he spied until he discovered the
absence of men, then he ventured up and revealed his condition and
his wants, and luckily they were true southern sympathizers; in a
short while horses were made ready and one of the ladies of the
house went with him about five miles to the home of a widow lady,
whose son pilotted Wallace about twenty miles further info the
Glasconade Hills, near Rolla, where he found a Confederate Recruit-
ing Officer with whom Mr. Wallace remained until the latter ))art of
the winter, from which point he was piloted to the Missouri Cavalry
forces in Arkansas, where Wallace got with his company again.
His arm had not gotten well from the wound, shivered pieces of
bone were working out, and whilst he was unable to do certain active
service, he was detailed on the courier lines and to taking the wound-
ed and the dying from the fields of battle, which services he faith-
fully and gallantly rendered.
He was under General Steel when that officer attempted to go
through to Shreveport, and was in the battles of Old River Lake.
Poison Springs and Saline River. Gen. Steele, however, was driven
back; he was with General Price's army on his raid into Missouri,
when he went to the river and drove everything before him. He
belonged to the fourth Missouri Cavalry, General Marraaduke's
Brigade, division commanded by General .Tohn Q. Burbridge. who
surrendered at Shreveport.
After the restoration of peace, Mr. Wallace on account of his crip-
•><'^ History and Genealogies
pled arm, unable to wield an axe, or do much manual labor,
everything looked dark to him, but he found friends who backed
him until he could walk alone, and the prospects brightened.
From the years 1855 to 1882, Thomas K. Wallace lived in Boone
and Audraine Counties, Missouri; in the latter year he sold out and
went to Bourbon County, Kansas, and lived there for five years, and
then went to Oklahoma, built a store house and stocked it with drugs
for his son, Napoleon E. Wallace, and Mr. Wallace remained there
for a year and a half, until the opening of the '"Strip" to where he
went and obtained a claim and remained on it six years, and then
sold out and moved to Guthrie, Oklahoiaia, where he is now per-
manently located, 606, East Mansur Ave., and there hopes to live
out the balance of his days, where he has a beautiful home. When
he left his farm in Missouri, he thought his days here on earth were
few, he yet survives, 7 5 years old. Their children:
Section 1. James Andrew Wallace, born April 8, 1859: died
April 25, 1859.
Section 2. .John Nathan Wallace, born Nov. 11, 1860. He
married firstly, Nora Keene, of Boone County, Mo., a daughter of
Alexander Keene, an early settler and pioneer of Boone County, near
Columbia. He married secondly, Ella Henton, who came with her
parents from Illinois to Kansas. .John Nathan Wallace's home is
Guthrie, Oklahoma, and he is the pioneer drug man of the place,
his place of business is at the corner of First and Oklahoma Avenues.
He went to Guthrie when the Country was first opened, and was
far-sighted enough to see a future for Guthrie and immediately em-
barked in business and has been an active factor in the Commercial
Circles of Guthrie ever since.
His store is neatly arranged and equipped, and contains a large
and well selected stock of drugs, medicines, chemicals, herbs, patent
medicines, extracts, toilet articles, etc. The prescription department
is given special attention, and has gained quite a reputation among
physicians for skill and care. A first class line of jewelry is also
carried in stock, and quoted at the lowest prevailing prices. Every-
thing in the way of diamonds, watches, clocks, cut glass, gold, and
silver ware etc., is carried, and from the assortment, one can make a
satisfactory selection. Besides being active himself, Mr. Wallace
gives employment to a number of competent hands, but he is person-
ally on hand to look after details. The issue of his marriage:

Captain H. C. Michie of Charlottesville, Va., as Captain of Com-
1 pnv H. 56th Regiment, Virginia Infantry, Confederate Army
with his company crossed the stone wall on Cemetery Ridge at
Gettysburg. He is a manly man of the highest courage, of large
means, and influence, an ardent lover of the Confederate soldier, and
their true friend, and ever ready to contribute to their needs;
feeling justly proud of the record he and his company made, testifies
as follows:
Charlottesville, Va., March 28. 1906.
To all whom it may concern:
It was my good fortune to have seven of
the Mauiiin family in my company during the Civil War. Whether
in camp, on the march, or in battle, they were always ready tor any
duty, and no soldier carried his bavonet farther in baUle. Two of
these gallant fellows. Corporal, David Maupin, and Private, Carson
Maupin, were killed at the High Water Mark of the Rebellion, (so
railed by the Yankees) in the charge of Pickett's division at Gettys-
burg, and Sergeant, James R. Maupin now of Albemarle County,
Va., was wounded and captured at the same battle. Some of these
gallant fpllows left their blood on nearly every battle ground
fought on Virginia and Maryland soil, and one of them rose to the
rank of Lieutenant of the company, a company which left thirteen
dead at Gettysburg. There were manv of the name in other com-
panies of the army of Northern Virginia, and I have never heard
that there was a drone among them.

Since the war Captain Michie has been Brigadier-General of
Confederate Veterans.
Many of the Maupin family emigrated from Virginia to Kentucky
in the first settling of the latter, and located in different parts
thereof; many of them settling in Madison County, later on a
number of them went from Kentucky to Missouri. It can be truth-
fully said of this family, generally they are full of life, high spirited,
lovers of freedom, and sport, true to their friends, generous to a
fault, and whatever their imperfections and faults may be, and their
faults do not exceed the faults of other good families, no one,
rich or poor, high or low, peaceably inclined ever entered their
portals without being received with hospitality, and made easy and
welcome. The latch string hangs on the outside at their home.
They are not lacking in patriotism, are ever ready to enlist in the
cause of their Country. In the Civil War this family furnished
its quoto of soldiers. A true Maupin will not turn a hungry one
from his door without feeding him, and if he is cold and naked he
will clothe him.

THE MAUPIN FAMILY.
Article 1. — The iinine Maupin, is of French ori}?in, and is )n-(>noun-
cetl as thouft'h is was spelled "Maupan."
The family tradition is that one Gabriel Maupin, a French
Huguenot, and a General in the French Army, whose wife was
Marie Spencer, daughter of Earl Spencer, an English Nobleman, to
avoid persecutions which were being heaped upon the Huguenots,
left France near the beginning of the eighteenth century, and went
to England. He was probably a resident of France at the time of
his marriage, as some claim. However he did not remain in England
1^ very long, but soon sailed for America with his wife, and at least
f two children, Daniel and Gabriel, one of whom was born in Prance,
and the other rrnTngland. His emigration from England occured
verv early in the century. He settled with his family in Virginia.
It has been stated, probably correctly, that he died in Virginia in
\y 1720, after making and publishing his last will and testament,
/ bearing date, D^h-. 2, 1719. probated Anril 2(1. 1720. and recorded
at Williamsburg, leaving sons, Daniel Maupin and Gabriel Maupin,
and a daughter, Mary Maupin (and perhaps other children.)
romnMinica'ion ha« been had with the Clerk of the Court at
Williamsburg, in an effort to secure a copy of the will, resulting in
intelligence from the clerk, that the records of the Court were des-
troyed by fire dudng the Civil War, which misfortune wiped out
nuich valuable early and interesting history of the family.
/ Daniel Maupin married Margaret Via. and died in Albemarle
County, Va., in 178S, leaving his last will and testament, which is
of record at Charlottesville, a copy of which is exhibited in Chapter
;>9'2 7Ti'<tori/ am] Ch'nr(t]oqie.<<
?,, in connection with the further history of Daniel Maupin, desig-
nated as Daniel Maupin, Senior.
Reverend Edgar Woods, in his History of Albemarle, published
in 1901, states that "Two brothers, Daniel and Gabriel Maupin, came
to the County just before the middle of the last century.
-Daniel entered more than fifteen hundred acres in the Whitehall
neighborhood. He died in 17 88. He and his wife, Margaret had
seven sons, and three daughters: Thomas. Gabriel, Daniel, John.j:
Margaret, the wife of Robert :\Iiller, William, Zachariah, Jesse, Jane,
the wife of Samuel Rea, and Mary the wife of Matthew Mullens.
Reverend Edgar Woods, further says: "Gabriel died in 1794.
He seems to have lived in the vicinity of Free Union, and Thomas,
Bland, Daniel and Gabriel were the names of his sons," and further
says: "The truth is, the families of this stock were generally so
numerous, containing hardly ever less than ten, and sometimes
thirteen children, and the same names were so often repeated In
the different households, that it would be well nigh impossible at
this date to make out an accurate statement of their lines of descent.
They frequently inter-married among themselves, and with the
Harrises, Jarmans, and Via's and their descendants are widely scat-
tered over the West, particularly in Kentucky and Missouri. They
seem to have been in their generations an industrious, quiet and
home people."
Gabriel Maupin of Free Union, married Ann Ballard, daughter
of Thomas Ballard a son of Thomas Ballard, who fthe latter) set-
tled on 3 20 acres of land near the foot of Piney Mountain, as early
as 1738. (One Gabriel Maupin died in Albemarle Countjf. Ya.. in
1794.) Their children:
1. Thomas Maupin: married Annie Spencer, sister to the wife of
hi? brother Daniel. Their children:
1. John ^Maupin: married Rosa Maupin, daughter of Daniel
Maupin.
2. Clifton Maupin: married Betsy Maupin, daughter of Dan-
iel Maupin.
3. Arthur Maupin.
4. Joel Maupin.
2. Bland Maupin, emigrated to Bedford County, Tennessee.
3. Daniel Maupin; married Sallie Spencer, sister to the wife of
his brother, Thomas. Their children:
1. Pleasant Maupin: married Lucy Wood.
2. David Maupin: married Jerusha Snow; died in Albemarle,
in 1821.
3. Rice Maupin: married Miss Carr.
4. Gabriel Maupin; married Miss Mallory.
5. Thomas Maupin: married Miss Gibson.
6. Nicholas Maupin, emigrated to the West.
7. Susan ]\Iaupin: married Daniel Via.
8. Sallie Maupin: married William Via.
9. Rosa Maupin: married John Maupin, a son of Thomas
Maupin.
10. Polly Maupin: married Henry Gibson.
11. Betsy Maupin: married Clifton Maupin, son of Thomas
Maupin.
12. Patsey Maupin; married Turner Woods.
4. Gabriel Maupin, (one Gabriel Maupin, died in Albemarle
County, Va., in 1858.)
5. Ann Maupin; married George Turner, son of Charles Turner,

It has often been related in the family that the emigrant, Gabriel
Maupin, senior, was a very devout religious man, and that when
coming over the sea the ship sprang a leak, and the passengers be-
came alarmed, and thought they would go down and be lost, and Mr.
Maupin was called upon to pray. Whereupon he offered up a fervent
and effectual prayer to the Most High, and the leak stopped, and
when the vessel arrived at the American port, an examination of
same was made, when it was discovered that the stoppage of the
leak was caused by a large fish in some miraculous and mysterious
way becoming tightly wedged in the crack.
The Albemarle family of Maupin have usually been attached to
the Methodist church.
Daniel Maui)in was an original trustee of Austin'.s or Bingham's
meeting house.
Eaniel Aiaurin, hrown as "Saddler Daniel," (Fon of .John Maupin
and Frances Dabney his wife) and his wife, Hannah Harris, nee
Jameson, in 18.34, gave the ground for Mount Moriah Meeting
House, near Whitehall in Albemarle, which for many years went
by the name of Maupin's Meeting House.
The names "Daniel" and "Gabriel" given so often in the families
makes it somewhat difficult at this date to trace the lineage correctly.
The Daniels for identification bore such prefixes to the name as
"Cuff," "Rough," "Tough," "Saddler," "Soldier," etc.
After the letters A B C D E F and G following appear the names
and brief history of certain ones of the family, all of whom except
possibly George W. Maupin and Charles W. Maupin emigrated from
Albemarle County, Va., to Madison -County, Ky., whose lineage is
not traced back in this record, they were however sons of Daniel
Maupin and Margaret Via, described in Chapter o, and the little
history gathered of them is set forth after said letters, that any
one desiring to do so, may more readily trace their lines back.
"A." Mosias Maupin and his wife Leah emigrated from
Alberaarle County, Va., to Madison County, Ky., and acquired
lands and settled on the waters of Drowning Creek, which he
sold, and on the 6th of Sept. 1804, he and his wife Leah, conveyed

tance from that of George Maupin in Calloway County. George
Maupin represented Calloway County in the State Legislature
before the Civil War. The children of George Maupin and

DANIEL MAUPIN.
(Named in Chapter 3, Section 4.)
Article 1. — Daniel Maupiii, a son of Daniel Maupin, senior, of Albe-
marle County, Va., and MarjiJiJ^'t Via his wife, and named in his
father's will which was pr(»bat«'d in 1788, was born in said
County of Albemarle about 1727-9.
He married Elizabeth Dabney, a daughter of Cornelius Dabney,
senior, and Sarah Jennings his wife. (See Part III, Chap. 15,
Article 2, Sec. 5.) And known as "Cuff" Daniel Maupin, and he
came from Albemarle County, Va., to Madison County, Ky., as early
as 1785. He was a member of a company raised in Albeniarle County,
Va., in 1758, to guard and defend the frontier against the Indians.
He was a witness to the will of Robert Harris, senior, probated in
Albemarle County, Va., Aug. 8, 1765.
The said Daniel Maupin, prior to 1798, came from Albemarle
County, Va., to Madison County, Ky., and settled on the waters of
Muddy Creek, where he acquired land, and where he lived till his
death in 1803. On March 5, 1798, (D. page 381) Green Clay con-
veyed to him 50 acres or land on said creek, adjoining Moseley's
survey.
He was styled on the record, as "Daniel Maupin, senior," of Mad-
ison County, Ky., and another Daniel Maupin whose wife was Betsy,
was styled on the record as "Daniel Maupin, junior," until the death
of Daniel Maupin, senior, after which occurence, the word 'junior"
did not follow his name on the record. There was still another
Daniel Maupin, who at one time lived on Paint Lick Creek, whos^
wife was named Susannah.
The name of the wife of said Daniel Maupin, senior, of Madison
County, Ky., nowhere appears on the Court records of said County,
at least a thorough search has been made without avail. She
evidently was dead before he made his will, but she died in Madison
County, Ky. He not only had children, but at least one grand-child
as shown in his will.
On Oct. 4, 1801, (E. page 260) the said Daniel Maupin, senior,
of Madison County, Ky., by deed gave to his son John Maupin, fifty
pounds he collected for him that was in the hands of Bernard Brown
of Albemarle County, Va., who was his acting attorney at law, and
other personal property. He died in 1803, as aforesaid, having
first made and published his last will and testament, bearing date
Oct. 11, 1802, probated Dec, 5, 1803, and recorded in Will Book A,
page 277, by which he ai)points his friend John Harris executor.
The will is in the following words and figures:
"Daniel ]\Iaupin's Will."
"I Daniel Mau])in, of Madison County, Ky., being of sound mind,
though weak in body, considering the certainty of death, and the
uncertainty of when it may happen, have thought fit to make this
my last will and testament, in the following manner, that is to say:
I give and bequeath unto Margaret Burnett, the fifty acres of land
that I live on, as long as she lives and is single, and at her death or
marriage I bequeath it to her daughter, Lucy Burnett to her sole use
and bequest, and my will further is, that all and every part of my
personal estate should be sold and equally divided amongst my five
daughters or their heirs, viz: Sarah Stephenson, Margaret Burnett,

my debts are paid, which is to be paid out of my personal estate, and
the sum of twelve pounds due from me to Lucy Burnett, is to be
paid her out of the same, with my funeral expense by my executor
hereafter named. And that no misunderstanding may take place
in tihe construction of this will, it is to be understood tliat Elizabeth
Ray's two children are to stand as one legatee in the above distri-
bution, and finally I resign my soul to God trusting through the
mediation of His Son to enjoy eternal life, and I hereby appoint
my friend John Harris to be my executor on this wulL

Obituary — Thomas C. Maupin.
Our older residents will well recol-
lect Thomas C. Maupin, who for many
years before his removal to California,
and subsequently to Texas, was one
of the best known and most popular
citizens of Boone County, for during
his long residence here, he filled many
imjioriant public trusts. He was born
in A'.adison County, Ky., Sept. 2, 1796,
and died July :]0, 1885, at the resi-
dence of his son-in-law. Colonel G. B.

Vacaville, California, and was buried in tlie Odd Fellows Cemetery
of that place, where the remains of Mr. Maupin will be interred
as soon as practicable. Eleven children were born to Mr. Maupin,
only one of whom survives, Mrs. G. B. Stevenson, whose faithful
offices to the aged patriarch were so tender and constant, that
they attracted the admiration and praise of all. When quite
young, Mr. Maupin united with the Baptist Church, and his life
may be said to have been a Psalm. For sixty three years he
believed in the doctrines of the church of his choice, and died
ardent in his faith. He was a most charitable man, and his hand
was always open to the needy and helpless. His fine social
qualities made him popular with all classes, and his strong com-
mon sense, aided by a good education, and backed by a moral
character, that sustained no blemish, gave him great influence
■ with the people. He occupied different stations of honor while
a citizen of Boone County. He was elected Sheriff in 1830, 1844
and 184 6, the last time without opposjtion. During his first term
and on Dec. 13, 1831, the first legal execution which ever occured
in the county, took place, the hanging of Samuel Earls, alias
Samuel Samuels, who was taken to the gallows north of Columbia
in a cart drawn by a yoke of oxen and driven by Adam, a colored
man; the cart, oxen and Adam the property of Mr. Maupin,
who superintended the execution. In 1839, he was one of the
trustees of Bonne Femme Academy and took great interest in the
location of the state university in Columbia, subscribing $2 00 to
secure it. In 18 34 and 1836, he was elected to the House of Rep-
resentatives, and in 1838, to the Senate of the General Assembly,
which latter position he resigned in 1840. The El Paso, (Texas)
Lone Star, says, that on the day of his funeral and burial a great
many friends met at the last home he knew to look for the last
time on the grand old man and pay their tribute of respect and
love to one who was to them all, an example in love, purity,
cheerfulness, integrity and christian faithfulness.
W. F. S.
Mr. Maupin gave $3,000 to Bonne Femme Academy, and it
was through his influence that the State University was located
at Columbia, Boone County, Mo., where his sons were educated.
He was a v/arm personal friend of Judah P. Benjamin, once at
the head of the Louisiana Bar, and was of President Davis'
Cabinet. He and his noble wife, in 1850, with their thirteen year
old daughter, Annie, emigrated from Boone County, Mo., aii,d
went across the plains, with a wagon train to California and
settled and made their home in Vacaville, Solana County, where
Mrs. Maupin died as stated in the obituary.
Thomas Colins Maupin was the first born of John Maupin and.
Nancy Collins, and to him and his lovely wife, Annie Reid Wallace,

he and three of his children were burned to death by the house
in which they were living, and at the time asleep, taking fire
in the night, the lower part being consumed almost before
waking, wife and one child (a son) were rescued. Several years
afterwards the son was run over by a railroad train and killed.

at the time Governor of Sonoro, to bring a party of friends
gentlemen of good standing to help Americanize the country.
Betwen the time of the invitation and the arrival of this party

Madison, and State of Kentucky, being aged and infirm in health, but
sound in mind and memory, and knowing that my dissolution can
be at no great distance of time, do ordain this my last will and tes-
tament: My will and desire is, that my just debts be all paid, which
done, and my funeral expenses also paid, my desire is that my
present beloved wife, Peggy Maupin, have and enjoy the residue of
my estate during her widow-hood, under the limitations or restrict-
ions hereinafter named. If my wife should again marry from that
time, she is to have one third only of my estate during the residue
of her life, and after her death, whether she shall marry or not, the
whole of my estate not before divided among my children by my

that such child or children, shall have advanced to him or them,
what my executors shall think reasonable, considering the extent of
my estate, and doing equal justice among my children, and their
mother. The part so advanced to be taken into consideration in
the final division. In case I make any advancements to any of my
children by my last wife, before my death, the same is to be con-
sidered, and as also, I have already advanced unto my sons, W^ash-
ington Maupin, twelve hundred dollars, and to my daughter, Cynthia,
intermarried with Thomas Gates, six hundred dollars, which is also
to be considered by my executors as so much in the division as
part of their part of the distribution of my estate, among the children
of my said last wife.
The children which I had by my first wife, Betsy Maupin, I have
done for them what I considered as much as I am able to do, for
my last sets. It is my wish therefore, that they have no farther
share or portion of my estate.
It is my desire that my estate of every description, be under the
direction and superintendence of my executors, and that my beloved
wife pursue their advice in its management and keeping it from
waste and destruction. I hereby revoke all former wills and do de-
clare this my only last will and testament, and I do hereby consti-
tute and appoint my son, Washington Maupin, my son Leland Mau-
pin, when he arrives at age of twenty one years, and my friend Arch-
ibald Woods, Jr., exceutors of this my last will and testament.
In testimony whfreof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this
third day of April 1829. DANIEL MAUPIN. (Seal.)

Washington Maui)in, was a most ex-
traordinary man — the country, in his day
and generation never produced a
shrewder, better business man. He was
blessed with a strong mind, well balanced
and splendid judgment, with a good jihys-
ical constitution and other gifts. Al-
though his education was limited, he was
simi)ly a power in the land. Apparently,
he made money without extraordinary
exertion, and accumulated a good estate,
owning broad acres of Kentucky blue
grass land, and large tracts in the south
and elsewhere. Was ever charitable and
free in bestowing gifts to poor people, and especially little poor child-
ren. He was indeed fond of children, and rarely passed a poor,
needy urchin, without giving it a piece of money, in consequence of
which the children all liked him, and he was very i)oiMiiar in his
scope, which was indeed broad. The hospitality of his home, plain
and \inassuming was noted. Nearly every one knew, or knew of,
Washington Maupin. He had almost a national reputation. Was
GEORGE W. MAUPIN.
440 llidoni and Genealogies
fond of the hound and the chase, and none knew better how to get
the best efforts of his dogs than he, and he procured the finest im-
ported breed of dogs that could be had regardless of price, but he
made his sport in the chase profitable. He seemed to have untiring
energy, and for endurance, he could not be excelled.
He was at one time elected by the voters of his county to repre-
sent them in the Legislature, but that office did not suit his fancy,
and he resigned. He lived for a time in his earlier life in the State
of Missouri, but preferring his native state returned to Kentucky,
and spent his remaining days in Madison County. His whole life
was an active one. He died in 1865, thus ending the career of a
most noble, generous, kind, charitable, brave, true and respected
man. The memory of whom will remain in the mind of each
acquaintance of his, as long as one of them survives.
He furnished five gallant sons: Caldwell, Arch, Seth, George and
Joel, to the southern cause, in the Civil War, who enlisted in the
company (B) of Captain Robert Bruce Terrill, (their cousin) of
the 11th Kentucky Cavalry, Colonel D. Waller Chenault, under the
command of the noted daring raider. General John H. Morgan. Of
whom, Seth and George, were Lieutenants, and Joel, corporal. Lieu-
tenant Seth Maupin fell severly wounded at the battle of Mt. Ster-
ling, Ky., which wound ultimately caused his death, his captain was
badly wounded in the same engagement.
Corporal Joel Maupin was wounded in the Green River fight.
At Greasy Creek, Lieutenant General Johnson's Brigade, was
cut off by the enemy, from General Morgan's command, and the
gerieral called for some young man, to volunteer to perform the
dangerous and seemingly almost impossible feat of carrying a mes-
sage through the lines of the enemy to Johnson, informing him of
the situation, and how to act to save himself and men, and the
young corporal Joel Maupin, (who was only fifteen or sixteen years
of age when he enlisted in the cause) stepped forward and volun-
teered his services, saying "I am your boy," which offer v/as accep-
ted by the general, who patted him on the shoulder, and commend-
ing him for his daring and bravery, gave him the message, and sent
him on the mission of delivering same, with scarcely a ray of hope
that he would return alive, but young Maupin, nothing doubting, and
undaunted, with as good a horse as the country could produce,
presented to him by his father when he entered the army, mounted
his fleet stud — well spurred — and with all the swiftness of his
charger, dashed through the lines of the enemy, v/ith the enemy's
bullets flying around him thick and fast, but most miraculously he
went through unhurt, and delivered the message to Johnson, which
resulted in the saving of Johnson and his men from being captured.
And he returned safely to General Morgan with the news of the
accomplishment of his mission and received the praises and plaudits
of the General and his whole command for his brave and heroic
act. First wife's children:
1. James W. Maupin; died a bachelor.
2. Caldwell C. Maupin; married Dorcas K. Maupin his first

Daniels, and among them occured frequent intermarriages, the lapse
of time, breaks and losses in the family records, and other circum-
stances, so complicate the lines that at this date it is very doubt-
ful, if an absolute correct trace of all the lines can be followed by
any one, unless favored with ample means, time, inclination and a
great deal of laborious research and thought. Therefore it is very
probable, some errors herein occur. But in the main the families
springing from Daniel and his wife Margaret Via, through their
children, Daniel, who married Elizabeth Dabney, John, who married
Frances Dabney, Mary, who married Matthew Mullins, can be easily
traced and it is believed that so far as we have gone into these
branches, and dealing with them, the record herein made is sub-
stantially correct.

Article 3. — Items Cjonceming the Name Oklham.
Section 1. From the Oldham Daily Standard, published in Old-
ham, England, of date Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1905. "The story of
Oldham." How did it originate? A question from over sea.
"We have received the following letter from Mrs. Kate Oldham
Miller, of Richmond, Ky., U. S. A.: —
"If you find it in your power, and convient to do so, will you
give me some account of the origin of the name of your town? My
ancestors for some generations have lived in the United States of
America, but they were of English extraction, and I am endeavoring
in a blind sort of way to learn something of the English branch of
the family. If you can forward this communication to some one
who can probably give me some information about the Oldham
family, and if anything is known of the migration of some of them
to America, and who they were, I shall esteem it a great favor.
Should you prove yourself so kind as to become interested to this
extent on my behalf, please lay the blame for your trouble on the
name of your thriving town, which persists in getting into the
papers on this side of the waters from time to time."
"On enquiries this (Wednesday) morning we learn on the author-
ity of Mr. Samuel Andrew, the well known antiquary that it is
merely a matter of conjecture what the origin of the name Oldham
is. It was spelt in various ways. "Oldom," being. one of the oldest
forms. There is no connection between it and the words "Old Ham-
let." There can be no doubt Oldham itself supposing it to mean an
old hamlet, carries one back into "hams" and "tuns" as seen in the
names of Birmingham, Wrexham, Sandringham, and other places.
The name "Oldham" leads one to suppose it is of Saxon origin.
Nobody can tell exactly what "old" means, except that it was the
centre of the old town. History records that the town itself was
originally surrounded by seven holy crosses, which showed that the
circuit enclosed belonged to an ancient order of knights, the Knights
of St. John of Jerusalem. Within these crosses there were certain
old privileges of British origin such as "the traces of the open field,"
which would in itself go to show that Oldham existed before the
Saxon Conquest, and therefore might inherit its name from the pre-
-ifU History and GeneaJogies
fix "old" and the affix "ham" joined together.
Perhaps some of our readers will be able to trace the writers
family genealogy."
Section 2. John Oldham, an English Satirical Poet, born at
Shipton, Gloucestershire, Aug. 9, 1653; died at Holme Pierpoint,
Dec. 8, 1683. He wrote against the Jesuits, and was called the
English Juvenal.
Section 3. John Oldham, (first American ancestor) came from
England on the Fortune and landed at Plymouth in 1623, and was
murdered by the Pequod or Narragansett Indians in the Narragan-
sett Bay, near Block Island, in 1636. His two sons, John aged 12,
and Thomas aged 10, at the time they came over from England on
the Elizabeth and Ann in 1635, were with him at the time and were
held by the Indians as captives, and were given up under the terms
of treaty with the Narragansett Indians, made afterwards. (See
Chapter 38.)
Section!. William Oldham. In June 1787, a military expe-
dition under Major (Lt. Colonel) William Oldham upon the waters
of the Wabash. He was one of the first Justices of the Peace of the
Jefferson County Court. He was commanding a regiment under
Governor St. Clair at the time of the Governor's defeat, Nov. 14,
1791, and fell in that battle with the Indians. Oldham County,
Ky., was named for him.
Section 5. Captain John Oldham.
At the organization of the first Circuit Court of Estill County,
Monday June 20, 1808, in the 17th year of the commonwealth the
Hon. Samuel McDowell,, Judge in the seat came — Stephen Trigg and
John Oldham, Esquires, who severally produced certificates of their
qualification as assistant judges of said court, holding commissions
from Christopher Greenup, Esquire, Governor of this Commonwealth,
and were duly seated and acted as such Judges.
The Clerk Ro. P. Clark holding certificate of his quafification
as clerk, signed by Ninevah Edwards, Caleb Wallace and George
M. Bibb, Judges of the Court of Appeals, attested by Achillis Sneed,
clerk, C. A.
Oct. 19, 1812, John Oldham's Ferry across the Kentucky River
near the mouth of Falling Branch, was established.
Captain John Oldham carried the first drove of one thousand
head of hogs from Madison County, Ky., over the mountains to
South Carolina, herding them every night. He built the first brick
dwelling house in Estill County.
Section 6. Absalom Oldham, was the first sheriff of Estill
Countv, his commission from the Governor bearing date March 17.
1808.
Section 7. Hezekiah Oldham, at February term 1810, of the
Estill County Court, was appointed third inspector of hemp, flour
and tobacco, at Water's inspection. Hezekiah Oldham at the solic-
itation of Major McClannahan of the Richmond branch of the old
Northern Bank of Kentucky, went from Richmond, Ky., to Louisville
with wagons and teams and a negro servant and hauled thousands
of dollars of gold, two wagon loads, with goods and gold from
Louisville to the Richmond branch of said bank, and there safely
delivered the gold, this occured v/ay back in an early day; before
the day of railroads, when transports were by wagons and team, the
country sparsley settled.
It was indeed a hazardous undertaking. The bank officials at
Louisville calling aside Major McClannahan, said "You are taking a
History and Genealogies 465
•
murderous risk, it cannot be possible that you mean to trust this
gold without guard through one hundred and twenty miles of the
country, much of the road running through a wild unsettled wilder-
ness in the hands of this one white man, and his negro slave.
McClannah laughingly replied, "We will risk it, there is nothing
between here and Richmond that can tempt, corrupt or overpower
that man, he will not be turned from the integrity of his purpose,
and will defend the last dollar with his life. On the way the
precious load was left in apparent carelessness, though the secret
eye of Mr. Oldham was never off of it, and no one suspected other-
wise than that he was carrying a load of ordinary goods or pro-
visions to the interior as was common in those days.
Section 8. Zerah Oldham, on 16th day of Nov., 1815, qualified
as constable of Estill County, with Absalom Oldham and Alexander
Collins, as his securities.
Section 9. Members of the Kentucky Legislature:
In the House of Representatives:
Absalom B. Oldham, from the County of Estill 1819.
Judge, John P. Oldham, from the County of Jefferson 1828.
Abner Oldham, from the County of Madison 1843. (C)
Section 10. Jesse Oldham.
"Twetty's Fort, or the Little Fort, built March 26, 1775, about
five miles from Richmond, 132 feet over one mile south west from
Estill's old station in Madison County, Ky., on a small branch of
Taylor's Fork (of which no printed accounted was had until the
publication of Collin's late Kentucky History.) Deposition of Jesse
Oldham on file in suit in the Circuit Court, says that it was built
the day after the Indian attack, before the break of day, upon Boone
and Twetty's company about 100 yeards from Boone's Trace, in
square form, about six or seven feet high, of logs, as a protection
against surprises or sudden attacks of the Indians, was not covered
and the wounded bodies of Captain William Twetty and his ward,
young Felix Walker, were removed into it, and there nursed.
On the second day after it was built Capt. Twetty, who was shot
in both knees, died and was buried in the fort, and the company re-
mained to nurse young Walker until April 1, (1775) and part of
them probably until April 6, (1775) when he was well enough to
be removed to Boonsborough." The fort was never finished, nor
again occupied as a fort, but allowed to rot down and disappear.
For six years, was one of the best known and most noted localities
in what is now Madison County.

CHAPTEE 2.
THE OLDHAM FAMILY.
Article 1. — It is believed that all persons in the colonies prior to
the Revolution who bore the name, w«»re of kin, save such as
may have acquired the name by adoption.
The family is of an heroic race, old Saxon, as the name implies
"Aldholm," Utterly "Oldhome." The "Aid," was translated "Old"
which was correct, while "holm" for "home" was translated "ham"
an old English law term, from which "hamlet" is derived, according
to some philologers.
The name came into England with the Saxons more than. fourteen
hundred years ago, and into this country more than two hundred
and eighty years ago, when Captain John Oldham came to the shores
of Connecticut.
Mr. Patterson, Professor of Philosoi)hy and President of the State
Agricultural College at Lexington, Ky., a philologist, gives as the
meaning of the name Oldham as Anglo-Saxon, and means "Oldhome,"
the Anglo-Saxon for 'home," being "hame," the "e" was dropped
in the course of time. Oldhams were on this side of the water as
early as 1621. Mary Oldham maid, came over from England in the
Fortune in Nov. 1621. John Oldham of Plymouth, New England,
came to Plymouth in 1623, and was murdered by the Indians in his
Shallop, in Narragansett Bay, off the coast of Block Island in 1636.
The family tradition is "that in the early part of the eighteenth
century, three Welsh brothers came to America and settled in differ-
468 History and Genealogies
ent sections of the colony of Virginia, branches subsequently run-
ning southward, and settling on the Dan and Yadkin Rivers in North
Carolina, and some in South Carolina many later on emigrating
to Kentucky." This tradition is somewhat at variance with other
accounts, Family Trees, etc., of other branches of the Oldham family,
running their lineage back to John Oldham, who came from London,
England, in 1635, and settled in Virginia. Such early emigrations of
course did not prevent subsequent ones. In the last days of the
seventeenth and the first days of the eighteenth century a flood of
emigrants came into America from England and elsewhere, and
settled in the colonies. Many of them stopped for a time in Pennsyl-
vania and more northerly parts, and moved southward to Virginia
and other parts of the country.
The impressive family tradition that the three Oldham brothers
came and settled in Virginia cannot be easily erased from the minds
of our branch of the family, who, when speaking of their ancestors,
the same is the uppermost thought with them. "And that the young-
est of said brothers was William, who was only a youth ten or
twelve years of age when he came, and was raised to maturity by
his oldest brother, and that he married Miss Basey, and settled on
the Patomac River.
Our parent William K. Oldham ,son of Hezekiah Oldham and
Mary Kavanaugh his wife, now deceased, repeatedly said "that all
the Oldhams in the United States were kin, for they all sprang from
three Oldham brothers, who came to America a long time ago, and
that one got separated from the other two, and was lost sight of."
The impressions on the minds of the living members of our
branch as to the names of the two brothers of William are vague,
and uncertain, some think their names were "John and Edward,"
some 'John and Richard," some "Edward and Richard," and some
"John and Moses."
An extract from Paignes History of Cambridge, kindly furnished
by Samuel Oldham, Esquire, of Zanesville, Ohio, reveals one Richard
Oldham, in Cambridge as early as 1650, and was first resident on
the south side of the River, and died Dec. 9, 1655. His widow
whose maiden name was Martha Eaton, married Thomas Brown Oct.
7, 1656. (His children appear in Chapter 38.)
Diligent search, enquiry and investigation has been made, and
correspondence had with Court clerks of various counties of Virginia,
North Carolina and other places, and with many other persons,
without discovering any other Richard Oldham, than Richard of
Cambridge, until coming down through the years to the Richard
Oldham who was born Mai-ch 1, 1745, in the section of Prince Will-
lam County, Va., that was cut off to form the County of Fanquier,
and who was a Revolutionary soldier in the North Carolina line,
and subsequently settled in what is now Estill County, Ky., where
he died in 183 4, a pensioner then for Revolutionary service. And
next, Richard Oldham, who was also, a Revolutionary soldier, first
a Lieutenant, then Captain and then Major, and who died in Madison
County, Ky., in 1836, then a pensioner and was known as "Ready
Monev" Richard Oldham, (See Chap. 4.) And next Major Richard
Oldham, (son of Lieutenant, Colonel William Oldahm who fell at
at St. Clairs defeat) born in 1787, was Major in the war of 1812,
and died in 1835. Since there has been many Richard Oldhams, nor,
has any Moses Oldham been found, till the Moses, son of William,
of Prince William County, Va., who was a Revolutionary soldier in
the North Carolina line, who removed from Caswell County, N. C,
to Montgomery County, Tenn., where he was living in 1804. Since
there has been several Moses Oldhams. .
History and Genealogies 469
•
Tradition in the absence of record evidence is better than nothing,
but, at best, is apt to be incomplete, full of error, and not very
minute in detail. In the family tradition at least three generations
probably have been lost sight of, and omitted from the reckoning.
The Oldham Tree, printed in Chapter 41 sets forth Lieutenant
Colonel William Oldham, who fell in the battle of St. Clairs defeat
Nov. 4, 1791, (wife Penelops Pope) as a son of John Oldham and
Ann Conway his wife, and the said John, as a son of Colonel Samuel
Oldham and Elizabeth Xewton his wife, of Westmoreland County,
Virginia. The tradition held by the descendants of Captain John
Oldham, who died in Estill County, Ky., in 1831, is that William
Oldham, who lived in Prince William County, Virginia, in 1745, the
father of Captain John Oldham, aforesaid was the uncle of Lieuten-
ant Colonel William Oldham, aforesaid.
If the Tree, and the tradition aforesaid be true, which the writer
is unable to confute, then beyond any question William Oldham, of
Prince William County, aforesaid, the father of Captain John Old-
ham was a son of Colonel Samuel Oldham and Elizabeth Xewton
his wife, of Westmoreland County, Va., whose lineage according to
the Oldham Tree, runs back to the youth, John Oldham, who was
brought from London, England, in the Elizabeth and Ann in 1635,
who was a son of John, of Plymouth.
Colonel Samuel Oldham's home was in Westmoreland where
he died. Lieutenant William Oldham left Berkeley County, Va.,
and settled at the Falls of the Ohio in Kentucky; the children of Wil-
iam Oldham of Prince William, moved to Caswell County, North
Carolina and part of them, from North Carolina to Kentucky.
It is apparent that several of the Oldham family owned lands in
the Counties of Lancaster and Chester, Pennsylvania, some of them
lived and died in Chester County, leaving wills. (See Chapter 38.)
The Elizabeth and Ann brought over from England to America
in 1635, two youths John Oldham, aged twelve years and Thomas
Oldham, aged ten years.
Richard Oldham of Cambridge, Mass., was there as early as 1650,
and was most certainly a brother to the youths, John and Thomas.
The trio were certainly sons of John Oldham of Plymouth; some
histories state that they were. John Oldham of Plymouth in 1629,
or 1630, returned to England, and he was in England in 1635, the
year said boys were brought over; they would not have been brought
at their tender ages, in all probability, if their parents or nearest
relative had not been coming or already here.
John Oldham of Plymouth was killed by Indians the next year
after the youth's arrival in America, and History states that "his
two sons were held captives by the Indians." These two sons were"
certainly John and Thomas, and he had them in his trading vessel
(Shallup) with him, at the time he met his death. If the Tree is
correct, the youth John had a son, Thomas, (wife's name probably
Rachael Butcher) and this son Thomas Oldham, was the father of
Colonel Samuel Oldham, of Westmoreland County, Va., aforesaid.
(See Chapter 39 and 41.)
It appears from the records of Prince William County, Va., that
one William Oldham owned land in that County prior to 1762, and
until 1770; he probably owned the land there, several years
prior to the former date. In 1762 he was in said County and con-
veyed to one Foushee a tract of land in said County, in 1770, he was
in said County and surveyed and conveyed to James Tyler, one
hundred and nine acres of land in the same County. He may have
left Prince William about this latter date. It is probable that his
wife had been dead a number of years. Were the records in tact,
470 History and Genealogies
probably more complete data could be obtained, but the war played
havoc with the records of Prince William County, as well as of
other Counties of Virginia.
In his application for a pension for service in the Revolutionary
war, whilst a resident of Estill County, Ky., Richard Oldham states
that "he was born March 1, 1745, in Fauquier County, Va.," but at
that date Fauquier County had not been organized, and his birth
occured in Prince William, for Fauquier County was carved out of
Prince William and her records do not antidate the year 1759. When
the application was made, it was Fauquier, and it was a very natural
statement for Mr. Oldham to say "he was born in Fauquier."
Estill County, Ky., was not established till 1808. Mr. Oldham
settled on that soil in 179 5, and now we say he settled in Estill
County, and call himEstill County Richard Oldham.
William Oldham, of Prince William aforesaid could not have been
Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham, mentioned above, who settled
at the Falls of the Ohio, for the latter was born June 17, 1753,
according to the record in his family Bible held by his widow, after
his death, and was only nine years old when the deed was made to
Foushee in 1762, and only seventeen years of age when the deed was
made to James Tyler in 1770. He was not old enough at either
date to legally transact business.
It is hoped that in the near future the clear facts may be brought
to light by enquiring minds and many of the present perplexities
removed. The wife of William Oldham of Prince William tradition
says, was Miss Basey, and the children born to them are set
forth in the following sections, towit:
Section 1. Jesse Oldham; married Elizabeth Simpson, settled
in Caswell County, North Carolina, emigrated from there to Ken-
tucky and settled on Otter Creek, near Boonsborough, in Madison
County, where he died in 1814, of whom more is said farther on in
this chapter as well as in Chapter 3.
Section 2. Major George Oldham, of Lees Legion. He probably
settled in Barnwell District, South Carolina. The state of Virginia
granted him 266 6 2-3 acres of land, June 16, 1807, for war service.
Section 3. Moses Oldham; married Mary Rice, a sister of John
Rice, who died in Caswell County, North Carolina in 18 04, and by
his will devised property in Tennessee, to thee children of his de-
ceased sister Mary, wife of Moses Oldham then living in Montgomery
Countv, Tennessee. For further history of this subject see Chapter
39.
Section 4. Conway Oldham, was a soldier in the Revolutionary
war, and made claim to the United States Congreses for such service.
The State of Virginia granted to Conway Oldham 4000 acres of land
for services in the Revolution from April 1877, to Nov. 11, 1782.
Another Conway Oldham, was second Lieutenant and was killed at
Eutaw Springs Sept. 8, 1781. They both served in the Virginia line.
Section 5. James Oldham. The tradition is that he came to
Kentucky and settled in what is now Estill County, Ky.
Section 6. Richard Oldham, born March 1, 1745, in what was
in 17 59 Fauquier County, Va., which County was cut out of Prince
William County. He married Ann Pepper in North Carolina, and
died in Estill County, Ky., in 1834. Of whom more is said further
on in this Chapter as well as in Chapter 6.
Section 7. Captain John Oldham, born Nov. 10, 1757. He
married Annis Rice, daughter of Hezekiah Rice and Mary Bullock,
History and Genealogies 471
«
in Caswell County, North Carolina, Feb. 24, 1783. He died in Estill
County, Ky., Nov. 17, 1831, on the Kentucky River just below the
mouth of Drowning Creek. Of whom more is told in this chapter,
as well as in Chapter 13 b.
Section 8. William Oldham. The tradition is that he was a
soldier of the Revolution, and emigrated to Kentucky and settled
at the Falls of the Ohio, and at the first sale of lots of Louisville,
was a purchaser, and was prominent in the early separatists con-
ventions held at Danville. If so, there may have been two William
Oldhams who settled at the Falls.
Section 9. Judith Oldham. It is said that she married Mr.
Bennett in North Carolina.
Note: "One Fisher R. Bennett, wife Judah, acquired lands on
the Kentucky River in Madison County, Ky., where they were living
in 1806. In Oct. of that year they conveyed sixty acres of land to
Carroll Eades of Clark County, Ky., and Fisher R. and Richard
Bennett conveyed land to John Bennett.
Notes: In 1799, Sarah Bennett conveyed land to her son, Peter
H. Benneet. Her will was probated Oct. 7, 1816, naming her child-
ren: 1. Ann Beennett. 2. Sarah Bennett, the wife of Mr. Rice,
(their two youngest children being, Taletus Rice, Nancy Rice.)
3. Polly Bennett, wife of Charles Anderson. 4. William Bennett,
wife Nancy. 5. Susannah Bennett, wife of Thomas Pussley. 6.
Peter H. Bennett. 7. John Bennett (had four children, the oldest,
Elizabeth Bennett. (At this date there were two John Bennetts in
Madison County, Ky., one of them was a son of the testator, Sarah
Bennett.) 8. Nancy Bennett, the wife of Mr. Rayburn. By reference
to Chapter 39, it will be seen that Moses Oldham, had a daughter
Sallie, wife of Mason Bennett, probably the testatrix Sarah.
In 18 0 3, Elijah Bennett and wife Patsey conveyed land to
Thomas Thorpe.
Moses Bennett's will was probated Oct, 2, 1843. He sold home he
bought of John Maupin, lies about five miles north east of Richmond,
on the great road that leads from Richmond to the mouth of Muddy
Creek, and is now owned and occupied by James Noland as a home.
His children in the will:
1. Patsey Bennett.
2. Lenuel D. Bennett. Whose son:
1. Dr. H. J. Bennett, now living near Silver Creek, south west
of Richmond on the Lancaster Road.
3. Soiihia Bennett, wife of Mr. — — Ross.
4. Sabrnia Bennett, the wife of Dr. Edmund R. McCreary,
they were married Nov. 15, 1832, and were the parents of:
1. Hon. James B. McCreary, formerly Governor of Kentucky,
State Legislator, Speaker of the House, United States Congress-
man, United States Senator, serving on many important Com-
mittees. Noted politican and statesman, was also a Major, and
promoted Lieutenant Colonel in the Confederate Army in the
Civil War. Of whom his men were fond, with whom he would
divide his blanket and bread. He married Miss Hughes.
2. Mattie MrCrearv; married Thomas C. Bronston. (See Part
V, Chap. 13, Sec. 7-7-9.)
Section 10. Elizabeth Oldham, tradition says she married Mr.
Pepper, in North Carolina.
Section 11. Miss Oldham: married Mr. Battershell.
"Mr. Thompson B. Oldham, born in 1819, now living with his
4:1:2 Histonj and Genealogies
daughter near Burgin, Ky., says: "When a young man I was travell-
ing through the Mountains of Eastern Kentucky and stopped at a
house and the land-lady informed me that she was kin to me, and
said her mother Mrs. Battershell, was a sister to my grand-father,
which I did not know, but when I returned home I related this to my
Aunt Betsy Fisher, and she said "yes, my father had a sister to marry
a Battershell, who the family lost sight of, and knew not what had
become of them.
The greater part of our branch of the family went from Virginia
and settled on the Dan and Tadkin Rivers in North Carolina, prin-
cipally in Caswell County. They all left that country about the same
time, probably about the year 1789. Moses went to Montgomery
County, Tenn., Major George, probably to Barnwell District, South
Carolina, and the others, save probably, Conway, to Kentucky. A
note from the clerk of the Caswell Superior court follows: "Yancey-
ville, North Carolina July 31, 19 06." I hand you herewith a list of
all transactions of record in our Court, it seems that the Oldhams
all left here about one time. R. L. Mitchell. (Clerk.) The list towit:
"A grant from State Governor, Richard Caswell, to
George Oldham, 1779.
Jesse Oldham, 1779.
Moses Oldham, 1779.
Richard Oldham, 17 82.
George Oldham, 1783.
Richard Oldham, 1783.
"Deed from Jesse Oldham and wife Elizabeth to Tyre Harris, 1783.
George Oldham to John Williams. 1787,
Richard Oldham to George Barker, 1787.
George Oldham to William Bruette, 1788.
Richard Oldham to George Barker, 1789.
Jesse Oldham and wife Elizabeth to Thomas Hornbuckle, 1787.
Jesse Oldham and wife Elizabeth to Thomas Bruette, 17 87.
Moses Oldham to Thomas Foster, 1789.
James Oldham to Dudley Ballard, 1787.
Moses Oldham to Daniel Buford, 1791.
"April Court 1810. Then I find a power of attorney that is writ-
ten as follows: "That we Moses Oldham of ^Montgomery County,
Tenn., husband of Mary Oldham, deceased, sister of John Rice, de-
ceased, George Oldham, Jesse Oldham, Moses Oldham, Joel Oldham,
Sallie Bennett and husband, Mason Bennett. Liddy Branthy and
husband, Abram Branthy, Conway Oldham and Elisha Oldham, by
their father, Moses Oldham, have constituted and appointed Solomon
Debow lawful attorney to make choice of certain parcels of land in
Tennessee, and elsewhere devised to us by John Rice deceased."
Evidently this family were closely related to the Conway family.
So many of them naming a son Conway, would lead one to think
so.
Conway, Jesse, Moses, Richard, James and Captain John, enlisted
in the Revolutionary army, the four latter from Caswell County, N.
C, in the line of said state, and served during the remainder of the
war. George was a Major of Lee's Legion. John first served as
an ensign and then Captain in 1777, he was in General Gates Com-
mand, when defeated at Camden. South Carolina, Aug. 16, 1780, by
the British under Cornwallis, in said battle the standard bearer was-
shot, and Captain Oldham seized the standard and bore it till the
defeat of his commander. He was after this placed in the com-
mand of General Nathaniel Green, in wlHch he remained till the war
closed. He was in the battles of Cowpens Jan. 17, 1781, Guilford
History and Genealogies 473
Court House, March 15, 1781, Eutaw Springs, and witnessed the
defeat and surrender of Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown. His service
stretched over a period of more than four years. Richard was in
Captain John's Company, under Colonel Moore, and Captain John
was his brother, as shown in his application for a pension. He served
for more than four years.
After the close of hostilities, and before the ratification of the
treaty of peace. Captain John Oldham married as above stated in
Caswell County, North Carolina, where a number of his children
were born. Jesse was married a long time before the war, and had
a number of grown children, and several married ones, when he
came to Kentucky from the Yadkin River with Colonel Daniel Boone,
and was with Colonel Boone and Captain William Twetty at Twetty's
Fort, or the Little Fort, when attacked by the Indians as related
in Chapter 3. He assisted in the construction of the Fort at Boons-
borough in 1775, in which year he raised on Otter Creek not faS*
from the Fort, a crop of corn, among the first crops raised in Ken-
tucky soil by white men, and returned to North Carolina, entered
the army, and after the war brought his family to Boonsborough,
and established his home near the fort, where he lived till his death
in 1814.
Ready Money Richard Oldham, (the subject of Chapter 4) served
in the same war, lived near Jesse, and died there June 17, 1836.
Abner Oldham, son of Captain John, was born in Caswell County,
Dec. 2, 1783, and was twelve years old when his father moved
to Kentucky. (See inscription on his tomb.) For military records,
see Chapters 4-6-and 13 B, and 3 8.
The supreme court records of Caswell County show that Eliz-
abeth Oldham, wife of Jesse Oldham, was willed property by Mary
Simpson in 1798; that Susannah Oldham was willed property by
Mayfield Heresly in 179 8. She was probably the wife of one of the
Oldham brothers, George Conway, James or William, and that the
children of Mary Oldham, wife of Moses Oldham, was willed prop-
erty by John Rice in 1804. This branch of the family is traced
from Fauquier or Prince William County, Va., to Caswell County,
North Carolina, and from there to Kentucky and Tennessee; probably
some of them drifted further south and to other parts.
Jesse, Richard, senior, Conway, James Moses and Captain John,
were all in the battle of Guilford Court House, so also, was Major
George of Lee's Legion, and on the night of that battle was born,
Eda, or Edith, the daughter of Jesse Oldham, who came with the
family to Kentucky, and died near Boonsborough, many years ago,
unmarried. During the battle an older daughter sat in the window
of their home, and listened to the cannonading and the roar of small
arms. These incidents were often told in the family, and there are
some yet living who knew Edith, and remember hearing her tell
them.
Mr. Thompson B. Oldham, of Burgin, Ky., son of Abner Old-
ham, the oldest living of the name in this section says, that his
father all through his life, repeatedly told him as well as other
members of his family that 'Lieutenant, Colonel William Oldham,
was his (Abner's) father's first cousin," this would make them
sons of brothers, and that Abner's grand-father was named "Will-
iam."
Richard Oldham was born March 1, 174 5. Jesse was many years
older than Richard. Captain John was born, Nov. 10, 1757, and
Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham, was born June 17, 1753, they
were contemporaries, and the family believes their relationship
was as above stated.
474 History and Genealogies
According to some authorities Isaac Oldham who was in Captain
John Vanmeter's Company of Pennsylvania Rangers from 1778 to
17 83, was the father of Dieutenant, Colonel William Oldham,
killed at Governor St. Clair's defeat, Nov. 4, 1791. That Isaac
Oldham by his first wife had three children, viz: William John and
Sarah, and that the three moved to Kentucky and settled in Louis-
ville and Lexington, and that William was the Lieutenant Colonel,
who was killed as stated, but this would seem improbable because
the will of Isaac Oldham, was not probated till 1821, thirty years
after the death of the said Lieutenant Colonel. It is certainly un-
usual for a testator to devise anything to a child who has had no
existence for so long a time.
One William Oldham, other than said Lieutenant Colonel, lived
in Lexington and owned a cotton factory there as late as 1825, and
one John Oldham, died in Madison County, in 1801, and another
was in Russellville, Ky., at a later date as shown below.
Notes of some Oldhams whose lineage we have not traced:
John Oldham was living on Muddy Creek in Madison County,
Ky., where he died in 1801, the clear implication is from the order
appointing Samuel Elliot administrator of his estate, and that part
thereof within the State of Kentucky, that he owned property in
another state. John Harris was the ■ surety on the bond. Daniel
Miller, Henry Harris, Samuel Dent and Joshua Dillingham, appraisers
who were all residents of Muddy Creek, and most of them came
from Virginia if not all, and from Albemarle County.
In 1807, one John Oldham, then in Russellville, Ky., held a power
of attorney from William McBane, to sell and convey a section of land
on Red River in Robertson County, Tenn., recorded in the Fayette
County Court.
William Oldham, earlier than 1825, wife Lucretia B. owned and
occupied property on Main street and Town Fork of Lexington, and
a cotton factory and house, and lot of ground, which factory J;if;
sold in 1825. to Drake and Gullivan, and in 1829, he sold other
property to Edward Oldham, and bought of Abram Clay four acres
on the south side of the Boonsborough road in Fayette.
William B. Oldham and wife Sallie Elliot, lived in Clark County,
Kentucky in 18 2 0.
James Oldham, was a contractor for erecting the buildings of
the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, and he built the wood-
work of the first pavillion on the Doric Order, for the University
with the four adjoining dormitories on West Lawn, which work
brought him to the County, where he was induced to settle, and in
1828, purchased from the trustees of Benjamin Hardin, land on the
Staunton Road, immediately east of Mechum River Depot, where
he kept for several years, a house of public entertainment. His wife
was Mary Gamble, daughter of Henry Bambel. He died in 1843.
(Rev. Edgar Woods, his of Albemarle.)
Edward Oldham, wife Mary, prior to 1821, and to many years
after 1836, lived in and near Lexington, Ky., and they had a son,
Edward, and Rev. William Abner Oldham of Nortonville, Kansas,
who once lived near Lexington, knew old man Edward Oldham when
he saw him, and his son, Edward intimately.
Lieutenant Edward Oldham, of the Flying Company, second
mounted batallion in the Revolution, married Mary Enson.
(From Notes by Mr. Sam Oldham.)
It will be noticed that the wife of each, was named Mary.
Newport Oldham, died in Montgomery County, Ky., in 1820,
History and Genealogies 475
»
his estate was appraised by Alexander Collins, William O. Jameson
and William Morris, Oct. 20, 1820.
Samuel Oldham, wife Daphney, prior to 1832, and later than
18 40, lived in and near Lexington, Ky., and owned property there.
In 1835, Samuel Jull, executed a bill of sale to his grand son,
Samuel Oldham of Lexington, Ky., of a negro man Levin, and a
negro woman, Harriet.
Samuel Oldham in 18 38, on the Clark County record conveyed
his interest in the real and i)ersonal estate of John Talbott.
Clark is an adjoining County to Fayette.
See list of early marriages in Madison County.
The County of Caswell, North Carolina, was named in honor of
Governor Richard Caswell, who granted lands to the Oldhams
in 1779 to 1783.
James Oldham. His children (and perhaps himself) settled at
Oldham's Landing in Oldham County, Ky. We have not traced his
lineage back. Attention is called to the fact, that Moses Oldham died
in Montgomery County, Tenn., in 1867, and in his will devised prop-
erty to the heirs of his deceased son, James K. Oldham. (See Chap.
39, Article 2, Note.)
The subject James Oldham; married and died leaving
three children, two sons and one daughter, viz:
1. Uriah Wright Oldham, was Captain of Company F. 9th Ken-
tucky cavalry of the Union forces of the Civil War. He married
Mary Conway. He and his brother, Andrew Jackson Oldham
engaged as partners in merchandise at Oldham's Landing until
1873. Uriah Wright Oldham, whilst on a business trip in Tenn-
essee was murdered near Johnson City said state, for his money,
which brought the partnership to a sudden close. After this
occurrence, his widow Mrs. Mary Conway Oldham, with two child-
ren moved to Carroll County, Ky., and she and her daug+iter are
now residing at Carrollton, Ky. The two children, viz:
1. Dr. James P. Oldham, born 18 63, at Oldham's Landing,
Oldham County, Ky. He graduated in Medicine in 1886, from
the State College of Kentucky, and located in Little Rock,
Arkansas, where he practiced his profession two years. His
health becoming impaired, for the improvement of same, in
1888, he removed to San Antonio, Texas, where he now resides,
practicing his medical profession. In 1891, he married Mollie
Graham. They have one child, viz:
1. Violet Oldham, born 189 2.
2. Carrie Oldham, born in 1865, at Oldham's Landing, now
living with her mother .in Carrollton, Ky.
2. Andrew Jackson Oldham, was partner of his brother, Uriah
Wright Oldham, in the merchantile business at Oldham's Land-

Westmoreland County, Va., the home of Colonel Samuel Old-
ham, born 1686, died 1759 or 1762, borders on the Potomac just
above its junction with the Chesai)eake Bay, and across the River lies
Maryland. Some sixty odd miles in a straight line north west of
Westmoreland, is Prince William County, on the Patomac with Fau-
quier, formerly a part of Prince William, the home of William Old-
ham, adjoining and Berkely^ — the former home of Lieutenant Colonel
William Oldham, lying a little west of north of Prince William.
The southern boundary line of Pennsylvania, binds Virginia and
Maryland on the north.

Lancaster, with Chester adjoining it on the east, and York on the
west, are Pennsylvania Counties, the Susquehanna which flows
into the Chesapeake Bay, separates York and Lancaster, these three
Counties all touch the northern boundary of Maryland, and are on
Chesapeaks waters.
In the County of Chester, Robert Oldham owned land in 1707,
(some say Bucks) however he died in Nottingham Township Chester
County in 1749, wife Mary, daughter of Joseph White and Elizabeth
his wife. They had daughters and sons, Edward and Robert.
The following owned lands in Chester County, Pennsylvania:
Joseph Oldham 1754, Robert Oldham 1765 to 1774, and John Old-
ham 1765 to 1769. About 1750, Thomas Oldham (Junior) being
suffixed because his father had the same given name, died in
Chester County, and his widow Mary, qualified as administratrix
of his estate. In 1756, another Thomas Oldham, father of the
one above named, styled senior, died in East Nottingham, his will
mentioning his wife Rachael, (daughter of Zacharias Butcher) and
daughters, and these sons, towit:
1. Thomas Oldham, who was dead in 1750, and his widow
Mary was administrator as above stated. They had a son:
1. Thomas Oldham, (probably the owner of York County
lands in 1779 to 1783.)
2. William Oldham, who was dead, widow Sarah.
Thomas Oldham owned lands in York County, Pa., 1779 to 1783.
,The following owned lands in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania:
Edward Oldham 1735, William Oldham 1747, Thomas Oldham
1749 and Nathaniel Oldham 1749.
The above settlements were all on waters tributary to the Ches-
apeake Bay, and these people were all of the same stock. Proper
investigation would make discoveries that would throw a flood of
light on the trace and make clear the relationship. The North Car-
olina family who emigrated from the waters of Chesapeake 5ay, run
back to the same original Anglo-American ancestor. The kinship
of the family has been recognized by all its branches in the mul-
tiplication of the Johns, Thomases, Josephs, and Richards. The
name of Robert did not come into the family until after the marriage
of Thomas Oldham, son of Thomas to Mercy, daughter of Robert
Sproat. The name Samuel, seems to have been brought from
England, for it has been a name common in every branch of the
family in the states. The name Isaac, was given by Thomas to his
second son, and has been continued in all branches of the family.
A full notation of the given names of the family would show this
distinctly. (See closing part of Chapter 38.)

age's Dictionary, third volume. Bond's History of Watertown, and
Frathingham's History of Charleston.
Captain John Oldham (of Plymouth) was the first representative
1634, of Watertown to the General Court of Massachusettss.
In 1632 he and John Masters were appointed to advise with the
Govenor and his assitants about raising public stock. John Oldham
with John Dowil, obtained from John George a grant for a tract of
land embracing most of the territory of the present cities of Charles-
ton, Cambridge, Summerville and a part of Watertown. (See Froth-
ingham's History of Charleston.) The grant was not valid, and the
General Court granted Mr. Oldham a farm of 500 acres in Watertown
April 1, 1634, which was long known after his death as the "Oldham
farm."
The theological differences between Rev. John Syford and John
TTidorij and Genealogies 477
«
Oldham with the Plymouth colonists terminated in 1627, by the
exclusion of Syford, Oldham, Roger Williams and some seventy
others of the colony. The Plymouth Colonists who came over from
Holland in 1621 were Congregationalists, whilst Syford, Oldham and
others were church of England people. Oldham and Syford went
to Nantasket, thence with Conant to Cape Ann, their home in 1628,
well reconciled with Plymouth, but Oldham never returned as a set-
tler of that colony. (See Chap. 39.)
The fireside stories in the family are that Mrs. Basey, the
mother of the wife of William Oldham of Prince William County, Va-,
was before her marriage Miss Garland, and that she lived to the
remarkable age of one hundred and eighteen years, and cut a new
set of teeth when one hundred and ten years old. And that Heze-
kiah Rice and Mary Bullock, (parents of Annis Rice the wife of Cap-
tain John Oldham) lived together as husband and wife, seventy five
years.
Mr. Samuel Oldham an intelligent, honorable, and venerable
gentleman of Zanesville, Ohio, has taken many notes and had favored
us with interesting and instructive letters, data and scraps of history,
to whom our sincere thanks are tendered. (Se Chap. 38.)
We here present copy of a letter written by Warren S. Ely,
Genealogist and Librarian, Bucks County Historical Society, to
Samuel Oldham, Esquire of Zanesville, Ohio, which Mr. Oldham
furnished the writer, to-wit:
"Doylestown, Pa., 10-10-1907. Samuel Oldham, Esquire, Zanes-
ville, Ohio. Dear Sir: The bond of Jonathan Oldham administrator
of the goods, rights and credits of John Oldham, late of Cheshire,
in the Kingdom of England, merct, (merchant) with Philip Andrew
as surety, is dated Aug. 22, 1698. The grant of the letters in Book
A, page 265, begins: "Whereas John Oldham, late of Cheshire, in
ye Kingdom of England, lately dyed intestate, as in affirmed, hav-
ing whilst he lived, and at the time of his decease, goods, rights,
credits, etc., in divers places within ye province of Pennsylvania,
and territories thereto annexed, whereby the power and authority to
grant letters of administration devolved upon us etc.
Letters granted to Jonathan Oldham Aug. 22, 1698. The "In-
ventory of ye estate and chattels, rights, wares, and merchandises
of John oidham, late of Cheshire, in ye Kingdom of England
merchant, deceased, as it was shown to us ye appraisers. Afterwards
ui'on ye 23rd day of Aug. 1698, by Jonathan Oldham, ye adminis-
trator, consists chiefly of dry goods in rolls, etc., showing that he
was a merchant, as stated in the bond and letters of administration.
It also included his purse and apparell.
I found no settlement of the accounts of Jonathan Oldham as
administrator, nor did I, by diligent search, find any transfer of real
estate to, or from either John, or Jonathan Oldham. **
I obtained the original papers in the estate, but they consisted
onlv of the inventory above quoted and the bond. Unfortunately
there are no Orphan's Court papers of Phil. County, in existence that
I am aware of until a much later period than this
Respectfully Yours,
Warren S. Ely.
It seems bevond question that the intestate John Oldham, des-
cribed in Mr. Elv's letter, was the youth John Oldham, who came
over in the Elizabeth and Ann in 163 5, when 12 years of age, who
would have been 7 5 years old in 169 8.

CHAPTEE 3.
JESSE OLDHAM.
(Named in Chapter 2, Sectoin 1.)
Article 1. — Jesse Oldham, a son of William Oldham and IVIlss
Basey his wife, was bom probably in Prince William County, Va.
He moved to North Carolina before the Revolution, and lived
for a time on the Yadkin River, not a great distance from Guil-
ford Court-House. He married Elizabeth Simpson. In 179 8, Martha
Simpson a resident of Caswell County North Carolina died, and in
her will devised property to Elizabeth Oldham, wife of Jesse Old-
ham. (See Chap. 1, Sec. 11.) Jesse Oldham came to Madison
County, Ky., in the early part of the year 177 5, with the company of
Colonel Daniel Boone, and Captain William Twetty, and was with
them when attacked by the Indians before day break, March 25,
1775, in which battle Captain Twetty was so seriously wounded that
he died and Felix Walker was painfully wounded, but recovered His
deposition which was tiled in the Court states that "Twetty's Fort, or
the Little Fort, was built March 26, 1775, about five miles from Rich-
mond, (and 132 feet over one mile south west from Estill's old
station in Madison County, Ky.,) on a small branch of Taylor's
Fork. That it was built the day after the Indian attack before the
break of day, upon Colonel Boone's and Captain Twetty's Company,
about 100 yards from Boone's Trace, in square form, about six or
seven feet high, of logs, as a protection against surprises, or sudden
attacks of the Indians, was not covered, and the wounded bodies of
Captain William Twetty and his ward, young Felix Walker, were
removed into it, and there nursed.
On the second day after it was built Captain Twetty who was
shot in both knees, died, and was buried in the fort, and the company
remained to nurse young Walker, until April 1, (1775), and part of
them, probably until April 6, (1775), when he was well enough to be
removed to Boonsborough.
Jesse Oldham, after the death and burial of Captain Twetty, and
when young Walker had sufficiently recovered to be moved, went
with him to Boonsborough, about the 6th of April, and he assisted
in the building and completion of the Fort at Boonsborough, which
work was not completed until June 14, 1775, and he made one of
the force of the defenders of the fort against the besieges made by
•the Indians.
Jesse Oldham was one of the men, who raised the earliest crops
of corn in Madison County, Ky. He raised corn in 1775, on Otter
Creek, not far from the Boonsborough Fort — of the very first crops
raised in the Boonsborough settlement, as shown by depositions — and
probably no earlier crops were raised in Kentucky soil by white
men. It seems that after coming to Kentucky in the company of
Colonel Daniel Boone, Jesse Oldham returned to North Carolina
and he and one or two of his sons, enlisted in the Revolutionary
Army in the North Carolina line. He and his son, and his brothers
Captain John Oldham, Richard, Conway, James and Moses and
Major George Oldham, the latter of Lee's Legion, were all in the
battle of Guilford Court House.
Jesse Oldham died in Madison County, Ky,. in 1814, having
first made and published his last will and testament, bearing date
Jan. 28, 1814, probated April 4, 1814, and recorded in will book B.

Jesse Oldham had grandrchildren when he can.e lo Kentucky
He was indeed, one of the brave Kentucky i)ioneers and frontiersman,
and deserves grateful commemoration of the good, patriotic people
of the grand old commonwealth, he helped to settle, and especially
Madison County, where his early conspicious part was played, and
whose soil contains his bones. Much more could be said of thjs
noble character. The children mentioned in the will:
Section 1. Amy Oldham; married Mr. Burton.
Section 2. Richard Oldham, the individual described in Chap-
ter 4, who married first Ursley Williams, and second Patsey Reid, his
father, Jesse, must have been considerably older than his brothers,
and this son, must have been also, the oldest child of Jesse, and he
possibly was very young when he joined the army, which was often
the case, for it took the young and the old to overcome the British.

an officer of the Kentucky Militia from 1808 to 1821. He was first
Lieutenant May 3, 1808 of the seventh Infantry, Captain Dec. 1,

quired considerable real estate on Otter Creek, and the River adja-
cent to Bonsborough, his home was near that of Jesse Oldham, his
father. He was a prosperous man financially. He died on his
estate June 17, 1836, his will dated April 13, 1835, was probated
July 4, 1836. the anniversary of the declaration of independence.
His sons, Alexander R. Oldham and Jesse Oldham and his widow
Patsey, qualified as executors.
The following record also appears: State of Kentucky, Madison
County, Set., November Court 1836. Satisfactory proof was this
day made in open court by the oaths of Nathaniel Oldham, and
James Woods, that Richard Oldham, late a pensioner of the United
States, departed this life on the 17th day of June 1836, and that
the said Richard Oldham was the identical person named in one
original certificate now here shown to the Court bearing date the
2 6th day of Jan. 18 33, and signed by Lew Cass, secretary of war,

ANN OLDHAM.
(Named in ChapterG, Section 3.)
Article 1. — Aim Oldham, a daughter of Richard Oldhatn of Estill
Coimty, and Ann Pepper his wife, came from North Carolina
to Kentnckv with her father, and on the 14th day of Sept.
1809, in Estill County, was man-ied to Joseph Collins.
The fruits of this union were the children named in the coming

Section 1. Williaam Smith Collins; married Mary Ann Bron-
ston, a daughter of Rev. Thomas Bronston and Lucy Clark his wife.
(See Part V, Chap. 13, Section 7.) Mr. Bronston was a prominent

History and Genealogies 491
•
2. Thomas Bronston Collins, was born near Richmond, Ky.,
Oct. 4, 1S42; died in Paris, France, April 12, 1869. A scholar
and patriot, graduating with honors at Bethany College, Va.,
he was one of the first to esponse the Southern cause, entering
as private in the Buckner guards. Afterwards Captain of Com-
pany F, Kentucky Cavalry, was with Zollicoffer, when that gal-
lant officer was killed at the battle of Mill Springs, Ky. An
exile from his native land, he attended the Medical College at
Brussels, after which he completed his studies in Paris, and
practiced in the hospitals of that City, where he contracted
disease of the lungs, which resulted in his death.
"Your own proud and heroic soil.
Shall be your fitter grave,
She claims from war, her richest spoil.
The ashes of her brave."
He raised a Company of Madison County men, Feb. 10, 1862,
of which he was cajitain, known as Company F, 7th, afterwards
the 11th Kentucky Cavalry, his Colonel was D. Waller Chenault,
under the command of General John H. Morgan. He was a brave
and efficient officer, received a wound in the thigh at the battle
of Greasy Creek. At the battle of Cynthiana, Ky., he became sep-
arated from General Morgan's Command. His war record from
that time on, is better told in the language of his own state-
ment, made at Montreal, Canada, Nov. 14, 1864, whilst a prisoner.
His statement exhibits the bold, daring, fearless and true spirit
of the man, which was made on the occasion of his arrest, pro-
ceedings and trial in the Canadian Court for his extradition to
the United States. From the Canadian authorities he subse-
quently made his escape, and went to Nova Scotia, from there
to Germany, thence to Paris, France, and there whilst engaged
in the study and practice of medicine, was taken sick and died,
thus bringing to a close the career of a most noble, chivalrous
and brave young man. From there his remains were brought to
Richmond, Ky.. and interred in the beautiful Richmond Cemetery,
and his grave properly marked by a monument. Here read his
statement:
"The St. Albans Raider. Statement of the Prisoner:
Montreal, Nov. 14, 1864.
The Prisoner's Voluntary Statement.
All the prisoners made statements.**
Statement of Thomas B. Collins:
"I am a native of Kentucky, and a commissioned officer of the
army of the Confederate States, now at war with the so-called United
States. I served under the command of General .John Morgan, and
became separated from it at the battle of Cynthiana, Ky." Having
eluded the Yankees,. I joined Lieutenant (Bennett H.) Young,
afterwards at Chicago, knowing it to be my duty to my Government,
as well as to myself, never to desert its cause, I owe no allegiance
to the so-called United States, but am a foreigner, and a public
enemy to the Yankee Government. The Yankees dragged my father
from his peaceful fireside and family circle and imprisoned him in
Camp Chase, where his sufferings impaired his health and mind,
and my grand-father has been banished from Kentucky by Brute
Burbridge. They have stolen negroes and forced them into their
armie.'-'. leaving tlieir women and children to starve and die. They
have pillaged and burned nrivate dwellings, banks, villages, and
depopulated whole districts, boasting of their inhuman acts as deeds
492 Histort/ and Genealogies
of heroism, and exhibiting their plunder in the Northern Cities as
trophies of Federal victories.
I have violated no laws of Canada or Great Britian, virhatever
I done at St. Albans, I did as a confederate soldier acting under
Lieutenant Young. When I left St. Albans I came to Canada for
protection. I entered an hotel at Stanbridge, unarmed and alone,
and was arrested and hand-cuffed, by a Canadian Magistrate, Whit-
man, assisted by Yankees. He had no warrant fo my arrest nor
had any sworn complaint been made to him against me. About
$9,300 was taken from me when I was arrested, part Confederate
booty, lawfully captured and held by me as such, and part of my
own private funds. I ask the restoration of the money taken from
me, and my discharge as demanded by the rules of International
law. The treaty under which my extradition is claimed applies to
robbers, murderers, thieves and forgers. I am neither, but a soldier,
serving my country in a war commenced and waged against us by
a barbarous foe, in violation of their own Constitution, — in dis-
regard of all the rules of warfare as interpreted by civilized nations,
and christian peoples, and by Yankees too wise to expose themselves
to danger, while they can buy mercenaries, and steal negroes to fight
for them — who, while prating of neutrality, seduce your own people
along the border to violate the proclamation of your August Sov-
ereign, by joining their armies and leave them when captured by us
to languish in prisons in a climate unwholesome to them, and in
which they are almost sure to die. If I aided in the sack of the
St. Albans banks it was because I knew the pocket nerve of the
Yankees to be the most sensitive, and they would suffer most by
its being rudely touched. I cared nothing for the booty, except to
injure the enemies of our country. Federal soldiers are bought up
at the rate of $1,000, a head, and the capture of $200,000, is equiv-
olent to the destruction of 200 of said soldiers, I therefore, thought
that the expeditions would pay. "I guess" it did, in view of fact
also, that they have wisely sent several thousand soldiers from the
"bloody front" to protect exposed points in the rear. For the part
I took, I am ready to abide the consequences — knowing that if I
be extradited to the Yankee butchers my Government can avenge,
if not protect his soldiers.
(At the conclusion of the above statement there were loud bursts
of applause from all parts of the Court.)
After the battle of Wild Cat, and General B. Kirby Smith's
march through Kentucky, and the battle of Richmond Aug. 3 0,
1S62, Captain Collin's Company was organized and went out from
Kentucky with General Smith's army, and joined the command of
General Morgan. His company was composed of eighty of Madison
County's boys, as brave and daring spirits as ever shouldered a mus-
ket. Morgan's raid into the States of Indiana and Ohio — in which
was nearly every one of Collins' company, was never surpassed for
endurance, dash and daring, being in the saddle twenty one days,
without rest or sleep, save the sleep gotten while mounted and
marching along — the poor creatures upon which the soldiers were
mounted eating only what was handed by the rider whilst in motion.

MOSES OLDHAM.
(Named in Chapter 6, Section 6.)
Article 1. — >r< ses Oldham, a son of Richard Oldliam of Estill County,
Ky., and Ann I'epi>er his wife, caine from Caswell County, North
Carelina about 1795, and settled in Madison County, Ky., on
Otter Creek, within a few miles of Boonshorough.
On the tenth day of Oct. 1796, in the last named County, he was
married to Ann White. This family subseqnenrlv emigrated to Miss-
ouri. The tradition is that Moses Oldham before leaving for the
West, occuijied most of his time in flat boats on the Kentucky, Ohio
and Mississippi rivers, buying all kinds of produce and supplies, and
floating same to New Orleans, where he would dispose of his stock
and crafts, and walk back to Kentucky, through the wild country —
the tram)) requiring many days of hazard and peril, but being hardy
and courageous, the same was his delight. The children born to
them were, viz:
Section 1. .Major William Oldham, was born at the home on
Otter Creek in Madison County, Ky., in 1802. .\fter growing to
manhood he owned and lived on a farm near Brookstown, in said
County containing three or four hundred acres, and .Abner Oldham,
a first cousin, and brother-in-law to his father, was his nearest
neighbor, and Abner's son Thompson B. now living remembers Will-
iam Oldham well, and has heard Ibsan tell of his visits to the home
of his brother, William, in Texas, and of their wonderful exploits.
William Oldham was a trader on a large scale, while a resident of
o02 History and Genealogies
Kentucky, and in the early thirties formed a partnership wjth K.
G. of Clark County, and they went to New Oi'leans with a large
number of negro slaves, having sold the greater portion, Oldham
entrusted the money for them with his partner to bring home, whilst
he remained to make sale of the rest. When Oldham returned home
he found that his partner had gambled the money away and mort-
gaged his property to his father, and left the debts (for the price
of about 200 negroes) for Oldham to pay. Oldham held what money
he had, and in about 183 5, went to Texas, and bought a Mexican
claim of three leagues of land, in the Brazos river bottoms, leaving
his farm near Brookstown in Madison County, Ky., which his part-
ner's father managed to have applied to the payment of a debt he
claimed the partnership owed him.
Thomas B. Oldham remembers seeing the drove of about 100
of the slaves, including men, women and children pass his house
starting for the south.
William Oldham was never married. After going to Texas he
served on the frontier, and in the wars with the Mexicans, and held
the rank of Major, and his name was made famous on account of
his part in border warfare.
At the out break of the Mexican war, many recruits were raised
in Madison County, Ky., and went to the war, among them Waller
Chenault (afterwards Colonel in the Confederate army, who fell in
battle in 18 62), while passing through Texas, Captain Chenault
was taken sick and stopped at Major Oldham's home, was taken in,
and there lay sick a long while and was kindly treated and cared
for free of charge. Major Oldham told Captain Chenault, that when
land got up so he could get something for it, he would sell enough
and return to Kentucky and pay his debts. He owned a large tract
of land on the Brazos river, lying twelve miles east from Caldwell,
Burleson County, Texas, and his sister had also a large tract ad-
joining.
Major Oldham and a relative Thomas Oldham, (mentioned in
Chapter 39) and Big Foot Wallace, (mentioned in Part IV, Chapter
4, Section 4-4) were in the Maier Expedition graphically pictured in
the clipping from the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Upon reaching
the river near the town of Maier, Thomas Oldham, G. B. Eurath,
and ten other comrades were detailed to remain in camp and care
for the horses, while the rest of the Texans crossed the river to see
about provisions etc., and the fight ensued in which the Mexicans
were repulsed, and the hand-ful of Texans took possession of a large
building in which they forted, the Mexicans surrounded them and
sent a flag of truce, saying they had 1000 more men and demanding
surrender of men and arms, promising that the Texans should be
fed and well treated.
In the mean time, two of the company of Texans, Chalk and Sin
Clair had hid behind a bunch of cane near the out side rorner of
the building and soon made their escape and went to the river
and hailed the boys left to care for the horses to bring over the boat,
the boys asked "Who are you?" the response was "Chalk anl Sin
Clair." The boat was hurried over, and just as they landed back
on the Texas side with Chalk and Sin Clair, the Mexicans called to
them to bring over the boat, but no satisfactiory answer being
given when asked "Who are you?" the boys knocked holes in the
boa^ and ^ark it, and hurried to camp, mounted their horses, each
leading a horse, and started for home chased by the Mexicans, who
followed for several days, some days being in sight all the day.
Major Oldham became a prisoner in the hands of these cruel Mex-
icans. At Matamoras they planned to escape. When their dinner
History and Genealogies 503
•
was brought to them, Cameron jumped in the door, and waived his
hat, and all broke out, knocking the guards down and capturing
their guns and escaping, followed by the Mexicans. Xol knowing the
country they soon starved out for water as well as bread, and all
except Major Oldham and one comrade (name not recalled) sur-
rendered again to the Mexicans. Oldham and his comrade took to
the mountains and climbed and crawled in the hot sun in sight of
the enemy for two days without water to quench their thirst and to
cool their parched tongue and lips. His comrade wanted to give
up, but Major Oldham said no, I had as soon die in the mountains
as to be murdered by the Mexicans. They crossed over the moun-
tains and found water and rested and started for home, and for
three weary months without blankets and sufficient clothing and
destitute of food, only as they found it in the mountains and on the
prairies and often without water to the point almost of famishing.
One day after they had done without water for two or three days,
down in a deep gulch they found some damp sand into which they
scratched and found water. His comrade would drink a little and
Major Oldham would pull him away, and then h? would get down
to it, and drink as long as he could hold a drop, but their stomachs
were in such feeble condition as not to retain the water at first,
they took it turn about and stayed with the water till their thirsts
were thoroughly quenched. Looking up they saw bees working
out of a hole in the bank of the gulch into which they dug with
their knives and fingers and got all the honey they could wrap up
in a green deer hide they had, and there they camped for the night.
After reaching the border of Texas they called at a Mexican ranch,
hoping to get something to eat, but found no one at home. Winter
was approaching and the shirt of his comrade was worn out, plenty
of clothes and blankets were hanging on the fence, Major Oldham
took a blanket, but his comrade, a very conscientious man, refused
to take anything, until rather compelled by the Major to take a
shirt. That night very severe weather set in and they came near
freezing. To Major Oldham his comrade said that "the Lord sent
the cold on them because they stole the blanket and shirt," but the
Major always thought their lives were saved by taking them, and
that the cold weather was coming any way.
In 18 66, Joseph Alexander McMurry now living in Valley Mills,
Texas, went to Burleson County to close up some business for his
father, and stopped and stayed over night with Major William Old-
ham, he was then living on his farm with his old slaves, who had
not left him. He had cut a new set of teeth, his eye sight had come
back, and he could see as good as ever he could, and his hair, eye
brows and beard had turned black. Major Oldham was buried in
the Austin City new Cemetery. The record of his interment shows,
"1868," June 22, Major William Oldham, 66 male, killed by fall
from Bluff of River." John Eckels lived near Major Oldham. The
Major had a sister, Arzela, married Robert Eckels in Madison
County, Ky.
The following clipped from the St. Louis Globe Democrat:
"Harrowing Lottery of Death."
Prisoners of Mier captured by Mexicans. Drew from a pot of
beans to know if they should live.
(St. Louis Globe Democrat.)
History has no other story to tell like the story of Mier. When
the historian lives who can write of Mier as McCauley wrote of the
defenders of Londonderry, the republic of letters will possess another
immortal, and when the artist lives whose genius will be equal
504 Histori/ and Gmenlogies
to the task of reproducing the scene of "The Lottery of Death,"
the eyes of all the world will be turned upon the Lone Star, and all
tongues will mention the names of the heroes of Mier in tones of
wonder and admiration.
But one of the famous three hundred who furled the flag of
the Lone Star, where Mexican gore choked the gutters is now alive,
John Rafus Alexander, nearly 9 0 years of age, totally blind and very
deaf, sits upon the porch of his comfortable home near Round
Mountain in Blanco County, Texas. "Where the latch string has
hung on the out side for more than half a century," ever willing
and eager to tell the story of old wars, and fight over the battles
of the land he loves so well.
Mier was an affair ignored by early historians. Many suspected
improper motives and shameful conduct on the part of some of the
leaders, while others openly charged General Fisher with cowardice.
In the fall of 1842, General Woll, at the head of a Mexican army,
made a dash across the Rio Grande, and by forced marches through
a country that had been deemed impracticable for military oper-
ations, he suddenly appeared at the gates of San Antonio. The de-
fenseless city was easily captured, and after making prisoners of
the Supreme Court and many prominent citizens, the venturesome
General sought to return to Mexico greatly encumbered by spoils.
The Texans sprang to arms, and enraged to frenzy by the massacre
of Dawson's men, after they had surrendered, they threw themselves
upon the retreating Mexicans at the Salio, and slaughtered them
until they were saved by flight and night. Allowing the retreating
army no time to rest or sleep, the mad Texans harassed it night and
day, until the Mexicans, famished and bleeding were driven into
the Rio Grande. There General Summerville disbanded the Texan
army and ordered the men, volunteers, to return to their homes.
Unfortunately there were several soldiers of fortune in the camp.
Here was the material for the occuuation of such men. Some of
them had led ragged batallions across the Pyranees, others had
defended barricades inthe streets of Paris: and another group, of
which General Fisher was Chief, had been mixed up with the annual
revolutions in Mexico. The cry of "On to Mexico!" was raised.
and the drums beat for recruits in the "amp. The spirit of
war was uppermost in the minds of the disaupointed men who
saw the Mexicans struggling away with spoils, and the blood
of comrades on their hands. Old Mars was loose, and the
orators made the enraged Texans hear the God of war striking
his shield and promising them victory. Three hundred of them seized
their arms, and shouting the battle cry "On to Mexico!" they em-
barked on the Rio Grande under the command of General Fisher.
They carried the town of Mier by storm, and obraining ro?s^es?ion of
a row of adobe buildings that commanded the plaza f they held
the place through the dawning hours of a Christmas morning, and
all Christmas day they fought as their comrades had fought at the
Alamo, and Sarr Jacinto. Three hundred against three thousand.
The Texans understood the situation. They knew that Ampulia
was coming by forced marches with 1.700 infantry and a train of
artillery. They ought to have retired, but the soldier« of fortune
promised them victory. "Stand to your guns, boys," they said,
"and we will lead you to the palace of Santa Anna, where you can
open the dungeons of Perote, and release your comrades and run
your arm to your elbows into the treasure of the Montezumas."'
On the morning of the 2 6th the earth trembled beneath the roar
of cannon, and grape shot fell upon the 300 like hail. Big Foot
Wallace, Captain Cameron and Major Oldham looked toward the
Histunj and Genealogies 505
river, hoping to see a way of retreat. They saw long lines of in-
fantry with fixed bayonets and cannon in every street. "Another
Alamo," Wallace made the exclamation, and as the three returned
to the firing line muttering, "Yes, another Alamo," Fisher fell.
Again and again the Mexican infantry charged across the plaza and
often a whole regiment was held at bay or driven back by the
handful of Texans. Great breaches were made in the walls
by solid shot, and sharp-shooters swarmed on the housetops.
Every charge had been repulsed, the streets were thickly strewn
with the dead, and blood was flowing in the gutters when the
Mexican General made a demand for a surrender of the place.
"I was standing near a window" says Mr. Alexander, "when
Major Oldham called my attention to General Fisher and three
Mexican officers, who were having a parley in the street. After a
moments absence, Oldham turned to me, saying, "why John, the
d — m coward is talking of surrendering." Yells of rage and despair
drowned all other noise. Some said we were betrayed, others said
that Fisher was not wounded at all. They called him a traitor.
A dozen men v.^ere making speeches at once. I remember well that Big
Foot Wallace said "Don't talk to me of Mexican mangnanimity, it
means fill us with beans one day, and bullets the next." General
Fisher's hand was bloody, but he could not have been badly hurt,
for he kept on his feet. "Before we realized what had happened,
General Fisher and a part of the army was moving out of the build-
ing under the protection of a white flag. All semblance of dis-
cipline was lost. Soldiers crowded about the officers asking for
orders. Only a few moments passed and there were not more than
a dozen armed men in our works. "I hated to surrender, but Old-
ham said, "Boys, I guess we had better go with the rest and hope
for a chance to make a break."
"While we were stacking over arms, the Mexican officers treated
us with the greatest courtesy, promising that we should soon be
sent back across the Rio Grande." The Mier prisoners were first
sent to Matamoras, under a strong guard. They arrived faiiii<^he(i
foot sore, and perfectly sensible of the fact that the Mexicans intend-
ed to violate every term of the capittilation.
While staggering through the streets of ^latamoras with their
bleeding feet, bound in rags, and their swollen tongues black and
cracked protruding from their mouths, Major Oldham hapi)ened to
see a friend of his boyhood standing upon the sidewalk, the man
was a wealthy traveler and he proved to possess a heart of gold.
Touched by the wretched plight of his old friend and his comrades,
he instantly poured $100 in gold into Major Oldham's hands. A
few hours afterward he visited the dirty i)rison where the heroes
of Mier were confined and distributed $1,000 amongst them. Mr.
Alexander has forgotten the name of this noble man, but he said
Oldham's children who live in Burleson County will remember it.
The betrayed prisoners were next started on their long march
toward the dungeons of Perote. "We were always talking of making
a break," said the old veteran, "but all of our plans failed. We
passrd through Monterey and Saltillo, and 75 miles beyond, at the
haciendo Del Salado, the galling yoke had worn to the quick. The
Texans were familiar with stories of the horrors of the gloomy
dung-^ons of Petrote. and brave men with tears in their eyes, de-
clared that they would rather die fighting the cruel guards than to
tamely go on to vaults of darkness, where death by starvation and
torture surely awaited them. "The day was dawning at the Salado,
"says Mr. Alexander," when I went out to stir up the camp fire.
Brave Major Brenham — after whom the town of Brenham was
50G History and Genealogies
named — and young Lyon sat there. Brenham said "I am covered
with scars that I got in the dungeons of Perote. They will know me
and shoot me the moment we get there." Lyon stepped to the door.
He said "it is too late, that red-cap company are mounting their
horses." "Brenham sprang to the door and seized one of the
guards and Lyon downed another. The break had been preconcerted,
but I did not know it. A wild yell "Liberty or Death!" was on every
lip. Big Foot Wallace, Oldham and Cameron were first to spring
at the throats of the Mexicans. Brenham and Lyon were both
killed. Each of us singled out a cavalryman, and about half secured
arms and horses at once. The cowardly guards were paralyzed witl?
terror, and they fled, or surrendered on the spot. We secured
cartridges and rations and $1,4 00 in silver and galloped away from
the haciendo Del Salado. If we had been governed by the "advice
of Wallace, Cameron and Oldham and kept the highway we could
have defied pursuit and easily reached the Rio Grande. We fol-
lowed the road for 75 miles, and we camped and cooked dinner
almost in sight of Saltillo. Here many of the men became alarmed
and they broke away into the mountains. The triumverate of braves
galloped among the startled Texans, storming, threating and warn-
ing them of the danger of plunging into the barren wastes, and limit-
less solitudes, where there was neither water nor food, but all to
no purpose. For days and days they wandered, famished and ready
to drop dead from hunger and thirst. Some opened the veins in
the necks of their horses and sucked the blood, others threw them-
selves upon the ground and digging at the roots of cactus, they
pressed the damp earth to their parched lips. In this condition they
were captured by the humane General Mexia. He was so deeply
touched by the wretched condition of the wanderers that he made
his soldiers give them water and food on the spot.
Santa Anna ordered Mexia to have every tenth man shot, but
the brave, generous soldier refused to have anything to do with such
an inhuman piece of butchery. The monster of ingratitude had no
difficulty in finding a butcher. In the twilight, when the tired
prisoners of Mier sat about the camp fires of the haciendo Del
Salado, talking of home and friends so far away, a brute appeared
anongst them with an earthen jar in his hands, by his side stood an
officer, little less beastly in look, who told the prisoners to prepare
for the lottery of death. A few words were spoken. It was whis-
pered that those who drew death here, would escape the horrors of
Perote. There were 159 white beans in the jar, and 17 black ones.
Brave Cameron advanced with his head erect, and the firm, proud
step of one going to battle, "Well, boys," he said if we must draw,
I will do it first. He drew life. The brave scout was doomed for
Santa Anna had him shot some days afterward. The poor fellows
who drew black beans were pushed in a group under a black flag.
Their courage did not fail them. Two brothers drew together, one
was lying sick on a cot. The sick boy drew life, but he put his arm
about the neck of his brother, and when he drew death, the two
nob^'" boys exchanged beans. Those who stood near heard the whis-
pered words, "you know I have got consumption, go home and take
care of mother."
That terrible night 159 Texans sat with their faces buried in
their hands. They could hear the volleys of musketry that closed
the earthly career of their brave, patriotic comrades and many of
them registered vows that were not forgotten when war raged over
Mexico a few years later.
John Rufus Alexander, Major Oldham and seven others escaped
into the mountains. Oldham was a born leader, possessing the cour-
History and Genealogies 507
age and endurance of a Spartan. Alexander was young, strong and
brave. These two stuck together, and after enduring incredible
hardships, traversing parching plains and the inhospitable soli-
tudes of rugged mountains for 300 miles without meeting a single
human being, they finally reached the land of the Lone Star, where
they threw their living skeletons upon the soil so dearly bought,
and wept for joy. The other seven perished or were recaptured.
The prisoners of Mier were thrown into the dungeons of Perote.
Some were yoked together and made to draw carts on the streets
of the city of Mexico.
Santa Anna's wife, an angel, saw rhem, and their misery touched
her tender heart. She visited their gloomy prison and with her
delicate hands she soothed the brows of the sick. She gave them
little luxuries — luxuries to them — and she unlocked the chains of
many. When this angel of mercy was lying upon her death bed,
she called her cruel husband to her .'^ide, and made him i)romise
"to send the poor Americans to their home." He kept his word.
In 1844 Big Fooot Wallace led the last remnant of the prisoners
of Mier across the Rio Grande, and many got down on their knees
and kissed the land they had helped to buy with blood and tears.
I spent two nights and a day with this venerable old hero. "We
had a hard time," he said "to wrest this fine land from the Indians
and Mexicans, and make it a safe place for the countless thousands
who now possess it. I am proud of my share."

Very Respectfully,

Mrs. Kate Oldham Miller,
Richmond, Madison County,
Kentucky."
Annis Rice the wife of Captain John Oldham, was a daughter of
Hezekiah Rice and Mary Bullock his wife, of Caswell County, North
Carolina, the said Mary Bullock was a sister of James Bullock, who
settled near Walnut Hill in Fayette County, Ky. The Bullocks
around Lexington descended from said James Bullock.
Hezekiah Rice and Mary Bullock, lived together as man and
wife seventy years. (See slip at 'foot marked "Rice.)
In 1795, Captain John Oldham, his wife, and at that time six
children Abner, Absalom, Hezekiah, Caleb, Mary and Sally moved
from Caswell County, North Carolina to Kentuckv. and he pre-
, History and Genealogies 509
empted a large tract of land, in what was then Clark, now Estill
County, Ky., on the Kentucky River, near the mouth of Drowning
Creek, and i)urchased other lands, and became the owner of lands
on both sir'ps of the River, in both Madison and Estill Counties.
Other children than those last above named, were born in Ken-
tucky. Estill County was established in 1808, and at the organ-
ization of the first Circuit Court thereof on Monday June 20, 1808,
in the seventeenth year of the Commonwealth, Judge Samuel Mc-
Dowell in the seat as presiding Judge, Stephen Trigg and John
Oldham, Esquires who held commissions from the hand and seal of
Christopher Greenup, Esquire, Governor of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky, as assistant Judges of said Court, bearing date Feb. 18,
180S, produced their separate certificates of qualification and were
duly seated as assistant Judges, and Captain John Oldham held the
office of Judge a number of years. His ferry across the Kentucky
River near the mouth of Falling Branch, was established Oct. 19,
1812, by order of the court.
Captain John Oldham' at an early date, after becoming a resi-
dent of Kentucky drove from his home over the mountains to
Charleston, South Carolina, the first drove of hogs (1,000 head)
that had been driven from Kentucky to the South — which he had
to herd every night — there being no lot or pound along tbp rourp in
which to confine the hogs. His young son Hezekiah (Kie) being
with him to assist in the drive, which was a considerable undertaking,
walking and driving 1000 hogs, through the wilderness from Ken-
tucky to South Carolina. Afterwards he carried many droves
to the Southern markets. His sons, Kie and Caleb, for many and
many years, after growing to manhood and being thrown on their
own resources, made it a practice every fall, to drive hogs through
to the South, and became noted drovers, buying up all the hogs in
the country that were for sale.
The first brick house in Estill County, was a dwelling built by
Captain John Oldham. He was a man of wonderful nerve, energy
and endurance, very prosperous and just.
After settling in Estill County, Captain John and his brother
Richard Oldham, and his neighbors, joined in a successful effort to
procure a school teacher. He wrote to a relative in Wales to send
him a man qualified to teach school, in response a Mr. Hutchison,
a learned English and Latin scholar, came from Wales, to the home
of Captain Oldham in Estill County, and there taught the children
of Captain Oldham and others and his oldest sons Abner and Absa-
lom became good English as well as Latin scholars. Hutchison re-
mained in Kentucky till his death, and taught school at other places.
Cai)tain John Oldham whilst he lived would make no applica-
tion for a pension for service in the Revolution saying "he was op-
posed to the i)ension law and would not accept its benefits, that it
was the rightful duty of every patriotic citizen to defend the liberties
of his country — that the soldiers in time, received their regular
pay for service," and he held that "this sacred duty was degraded
by the pension law."
In his day the farmers wintered their hogs on mast. One season
the acorns were scarce in Captain Oldham's neighborhood, and he
drove his hogs up on Station Cam]) Creek to mast, and left his two
oldesi sons, Abner and Ab.=alom, to look after and take car" of the
hog.«. the boys made their cami), under a shelvin^r ro"k of •h'^ "liff.
in front of which they placed a log: they had with them two good
bear-dogs. "Ring and Rover." and guns, the dogs however, were
afraid of panthers. One night the boys went hunting, and the dogs
treed a bear up a big poplar tree, they both fired their guns at the
510 History and Genealogies
bear, and the bear tumbled out, one of the balls having struck be-
hind the shoulder, bruin was badly wounded but not dead, the boys
ran upon it, one with a knife, the other with an axe, and they soon
dispatched the bear, skinned it and swang the meat upon some high
forks, out of reach of the wolves, which were plentiful. On re-
turning to camp, their father was there, with corn meal with which
to make Johnny Cakes, and meat and salt; they brought the bear
meat, and skin into camp. The next night a panther, scenting the
blood of the bear, was attracted thereby to the camp, the noise
made by the panther awakened Captain Oldham, who spied the creat-
ure by the bright camp fire shinning its eyes, and presenting and
resting his gun over the log in front of the rock-house camp, he took
deliberate aim between the eyes, fired and dropped the panther
dead, which was also skinned; the boys then had a bear skih'and a
panther skin to help soften their bed. When Captain Oldham re-
turned home he took a quantity of the bear meat with him.
On another occasion Captain Oldham mounted his horse with
his gun in hand and dogs following, and went from nis home across
the river to the Madison side in search of his horses, one of which
was a bell horse, shortly his dogs came running back to him with
their hair all turned up the wrong way, bristling with fright: hold-
ing his gun ready to shoot, Captain Oldham suddenly rode up near
to an old she panther with two very young ones. He hastily fired
and killed the old one, and tied her behind his saddle across his
horse and captured the young ones alive, and tied them firmly to a
sapling, leaving the string long enough for them to move about,
expecting to return and get them after finding his horses, he
found his horses and did return, taut behold, the two young panthers
had climbed the sappling and hanged themselves over a limb by
the string and had died from strangulation.
Before his death which occured Nov. 7, 1831, Captain John Old-
ham made and published his last will and testament which bears
date the second day of Aug. 1831, and was probated at the February
Term of Court 1832, and recorded in will book B, at page 14. The
will is in the following language:
"The last will and testament of John Oldham, Senior, who being

Thomas Rice, who was born in England, of Welsh parents and was
an early adventurer into Virginia April 29, 1693. Obtained a patent
for land in Kingston Parish, Gloucester County, Va., the land being
due unto him by and for the importation of one person into the
colony, and was deeded 1200 af-res of land in Hanover County, on
both sides of Cub Creek and Dirty Swamp. In the latter part of his
life Thomas Rice owned a small plantation in the lower part of what
in 1824, was Hanover. Here he left his wife with nine sons and
three daughters, and went to England to receive a fortune, which
had been left him, but never returned. The sailors reported that
he died at sea, but it was supposed that he was assassinated. No
return was ever made of his property and his family were left in
a destitute condition. The major part of the family moved some
thirty miles further up the country where they procured a small
plantation and raised numerous families. Among those who moved
North was William Rice of Culpeper, who was among the early set-
tlers, who came sometime before Culpeper was organized. July 29,
17.36, hp acquired 400 acres of land in the Forks of the Rapid Ann,
in the County of Orange. His will bears date Feb. 9, 1780, pro-
bated April 17, 1780. His children were:
1. Richard Rice.
2. John Rice: married Mary Finney, moved to the Shenandoah
Valley, bought a large tract of land, and built on it and went
back, and removed to Rockingham where he died in 1804.
3. Benajah Rice.
4. Hannah Rice.
5. Ann Rice, the wife of John Graves.
6. Sarah Rice, the wife of Edward Graves.
The apostle of Kentucky, David Rice, was a nephew of said
William Rice, and David Rice a brother to Benjamin was a lawyer
of Bedford County, Va., and John Holt Rice (a son of Benjamin)
was a D. D. and the first pastor of Richmond Memorial Church,
and Professor of Theology in Union Theological Seminary, Va.,
and once Moderator of the Presbyterian general assembly, and
another son of Benjamin namely, Benjamin Holt Rice, was a pro-
fessor in Princeton. Many of the Rice family have been, and are
lawyers, ministers of the Gospel, and doctors of medicine.
In the old days the Welsh manner of spelling the name was
"Rhys," though even then when written in English was often spelled
"Rice." (Notes on Culpeper of Dr. Slaughter, by Raleigh T. Green.)
John Rice died in Caswell County, North Carolina, in 1S04,
leaving a will, by which he deeded property to the children of Mary
Rice, the wife of Moses Oldham, and sister to John Rice.

(Named in Chapter 13, Section 1.)
Article 1 Abner Oldham, a son of Captain John Oldliani and Annis
Rice his wife, was born in Caswell County, North Carolina, Dec.
4, 1783, and came with his parents to jMadison Countif, Ky.,
in 1795, he then being a lad twelve years of age, his father
rode over a large section of Kentucky and settled on the Ken-
tucky River in what was in 1808, embraced in the organization
of Estill Covuity.
Abner went to school to the Welsh school teacher, Mr. Hutch-
inson and was learned in the English branches, as well as a good
latin scholar. In December 1809, he married Miss Hannah "White
of Madison County, and acquired in time considerable real estate
on the Kentucky river, and the waters of Otter Creek, in the latter
County, and made his first home on the waters of Muddy Creek and
moved from there to a farm on the Kentucky river about one mile
above the present town of Ford, and four miles above Boonsborough,
where he lived and died. He made many trips to New Orleans in
flat boats, with tobacco and other productions, and walked back from
there on seventeen different occasions.
He and his brother Kie, went with their father and assisted in
carrying the first drove of one thousand hogs from Kentucky
through the woods and over the mountains to the Southern market.
Abner on his own account often bought up large droves of hogs,
and carried them to the Carolina markets. He dealt extensively
in all sorts of live stock and produce, and drove many horses to
the Eastern country, New York, Pennsylvania and other states, and
was a very active jjusiness man.
He represented Madison County in the Kentucky Legislature
in 1843, and died June 15, 1852, and his mortal remains were in-
terred in the Richmond Cemetery, the following inscription appears
on the tomb stone to his grave:
"Abner Oldham, born in Caswell County, North Carolina,
Dec. 2, 1783, removed with his father to Madison County. Ky.,
in 1795, where he resided until his death June 15, 1852."
On another side of the stone are these words:
"In his character, frank and decided, he discharged with
marked fidelity, his duty to his family, his friends and his
country, indulging a fondness for reading, he became one of
the most intelligent farmers in the county, which he represented
creditably and faithfully in the Legislature."
His varied interests, and work and callings in the day in which
Tie lived required for success, nerve, endurance, persFverance and
:grit. All of these qualities he possessed in a remarkable degree.
On one occasion he shipped and went himself to New Orleans
with a large quantity of bacon and tobacco, and finding no market
in New Orleans for his bacon, he reshipped it to Cuba, where he
went, and stayed in Cuba some time, two or three months, and there
sold his bacon and made good money on it. On this trip he was
gone from home some four months or more. Children were born
to him and his wife in the following order:
Section 1. Ulysses Oldham; died at twelve years of age.
Section 2. David D. Oldham, was born on Muddy Creek, in
History and Genealogies 515

fun. Was a farmer of Madison County, a number of years and
moved to Fayette County, and was a farmer in that County till his
death about 1S9() at the age of seventy eight years. He married

the church of his choice, but with all who know him. He is "not
very tall, but of very heavy and stout build. He emigrated to
Missouri, and now lives in Nortonville, Kansas. He attended the
Kentucky and Madison County Home Coming in 1906, where he
met greeting with greeting, of his many relatives and friends of
his younger days. He married Miss Talitha Evans of Fayette

the Richmond Bar, was born in Madison County, Ky. He married
Miss Ann (livpns, of Boyle County, Ky. He was one of the found-
ers of the Filson Club, and died June 2, 1901, at Colorado
Springs in the state of Colorada, where he had gone seeking a
health resort. No more fitting tribute can be paid to his memory
than to insert here the remarks of Hon. Reuben T. Durrett,
President of the Filson Club, at a memorial meeting of the club
held in Louisville, Ky., Oct. 7, 1901. Mr. Durrett said:
"It was a beautiful custom of the ancient Athenians to collect
the remains of those who lost their lives in battle, and to inter
them at the public expense in a suburban cemetery of Athens,
with a funeral oration setting forth their virtues. In a similar
manner, the Filson Club, honors her dead members by memorial
meetings in their behalf, with obituary notices of them to be
preserved among her archives.
)16 History and Genealogies
'In the list of names of deceased members for commemoration
at this memorial meeting, is that of William Chenault of Rich-
mond, Ky. He was one of the founders of this club, and it seems
fitting that I, as its President, should speak of him on this occa-
sion. In this room on the 15th day of May, 1884, Mr. Chenault
and myself, with eight others met and organized the Filson Club.
The names of these ten founders were Richard H. Collins, John
Mason Brown, George M. Davie, William Chenault, Bazil W.
Duke, James S. Pirtle, Thomas W. Bullett, Alexander P. Humph-
rey, Thomas Speed and Reuben T. Durrett. Of these, the first
named four, Richard H. Collins, John Mason Brown, George M.
Davie and William Chenault, have died and the remaining six
are all of the Founders of the Club left among the living. They
have been spared to see the original ten members swell to four
hundred, and to see sixteen quarto volumes of valuable historic
matter published by the club, while a seventeenth volume is in
course of publication. It was the custom during the first years
of the club, to assign to members subjects on which to prepare
papers to be read to the club. At the second meeting in 18 84,
Mr. Chenault was appointed to prepare a paper on Isaac Shelby,
and his two administrations as Governor of Kentucky. This he
did, and a noble paper it was. He went over the first adminis-
tration from 1792 to 1796, and the second from 1812 to 1816, and
pointed out the different messages, and the different laws, which
not only met the exigencies of the time, but helped to shape the
future policy of the new state. He then took up the military
career of Governor Shelby and presented him as a young soldier
in the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774, when the first guns of
the American Revolution were fired at the Indians as the advanced
guard of the British. Next he presented him in the battle of
Kings Mountain in 1780. When, with his bold and hardy trans-
mountaineers the army of Ferguson were destroyed and the droop-
ing hopes of the patriots raised to the anticipation of their as-
sured independence. And, lasitly, he presented him in the war of
1812, when almost having reached his three score years and ten,
he mounted his horse at Frankfort, and rode with his conquering
Kentuckians to the River Thames in Canada, where the British
under the infamous Proctor, were routed and the second war of
the Revolution practically brought to an end. And finally he took
up the private life of Governor Shelby, and presented him on
his farm, known as Traveler's Rest, in Lincoln County, Ky.,
raising better corn and wheat and flax and tobacco and finer
horses and cattle and sheep and hogs, than any body else. He
ev?n went into the working room of Mrs. Shelby and
displayed the wheels on which the yarn was spun and the
loom on which it was woven into cloth for the clothing of the
whole family. At a subsequent meeting he was appointed to
prepare and read a paper on education in Kentucky. This he
read at the December meeting in 1885. It covered the whole
field of education from the teacher and pupil of the log cabin,
praticed by the pickets of the fort, to the present system, in
which the teacher is employed by the state and the pupil taught
free. Those early Fort-Schools, in which letters and figures
marked on boards with charcoal, were used, insitead of books,
were vividly presented, and the hearer could almost see Mrs.
Cooms at Harrodsburg and Mr. Doniphan at Boonsborough, using
such charcoal boards in their classes. This paper on education
was so thoroughly and admirably done, that the Hon. Z. F. Smith,
published it in his History of Kentucky, and thus gave it a per-
manent place in our literature.
History and Genealogies 517
William Chenault was a native of Madison County, Ky., where
he was born in 1S35. His ancestors were Huguenots, who had
fled from the Province of Languenoc, in Southern France to avoid
persecution, on the revocation of the Edict of Nautes. They es-
caped to England and from there came to Virginia about the year
1700. In 1786, his father Josiah Chenault came to Kentucky
and settled at no great distance from Boonsborough in Madison
County.
(This last statement in regard to .Josiah Chenault is erroneous.
Josiah Chenault was a son of William Chenault and Susannah
Phelps, the latter a daughter of Josiah Phelps, the said William
Chenault, born in 1773, was a son of William Chenaulr and
Elizabeth Mullins. Josiah's father and grandfather, both named
William, came from Albemarle County to Madison County, Ky., in
the fall of 17 86, before the second William was married and cer-
tainly Josiah v.'as not at that time born. J
Here William was born and educated in the schools of the
County until he was old enough, and advanced enough for college.
He was then sent to Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire,
where he was graduated in 1856. He then studied law in Rich-
mond, Ky., and so rapidly learned the law, that at a time when
most students are only prepared for cases before magistrates, he
had mastered the science and was offered the chair of professor
in the law department of the university of Louisville. This
position he accepted and taught law classes with marked ability
for some eight years or more. At length his health began to
fail, and he longed for the fresh air and green fields of his native
place. He resigned his chair in the law school and returned to
Richmond, where he formed a law partnership with the Hon. John
Bennett, which existed at the time of his death.
Mr. Chenault was not only a profound lawyer, but had made
fame in other branches of learning. He had read many books
in various departments of knowledge, and was a man of broad
culture. Outside of his profession, however, he was probably
best equipped in history. Born as he was and reared as he was,
near the old historic Boonsborough, it is possible that, that gave
pomethins: of an antiquarian tinge to his historic taste. Although
Boonsborough had vanished before his day, he knew where every
cabin and picket stood, and could point out the locality of every
tree behind which an Indian had hid while firing at the fort. He
knew the names of the men, women and children who had inhab-
ited the fort, and could relate the details of every conflict they
had had with the Indians. His knowledge of Boonsborough, how-
ever, did not bound his historic learning. He knew everything
and every body in Madison County, and had mastered every history
of Kentucky, from Pilson in 1784, to Smith of the present day.
He was, also, familiar with the best histories of the United States
and of other countries.
William Chenault was a modest, unpretending gentleman, of
the good old school of Virginia and Kentucky. Though studious
and retiring in his nature, he was fond of his friends and of
their company. He always had time, and was never too weary
to help the young members of the bar, and was equally generous
and kind in imparting literary and historic knowledge to those
in search of them. He was an exemplary christian, and there
was no blemish on the bright escutcheon of his moral character.
He had a strong and brilliant mind, which enabled him to take
bold of the philosophy of the law, and he depended more upon
the broad principles of legal science than he did upon in-
518 History and Genealogies
dividual cases. He was a. public spirited citizen and did telling
work, in securing a branch of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road for Madison County, and in locating Central University at
Richmond.
During the last few years he suffered from a paralytic affliction,
which left him with such trembling hands, that he could illy
use his pen. In the hope of a restoration to health, he went
to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, but found there no relief. He
then went to Colorado Springs in the distant state of Colorado,
where his sufferings were ended in death on the 2nd of June 1901.
"In the death of William Chenault, the Filson Club, has sus-
tained a great loss, and so has the County of Madison, and the
state of Kentucky."
Mr. Chenault was somewhat deiicient in his chirography and
on occasions when the subject matter had for the time slipped
his memory, it required his deepest thoughts for him to read what
he had penned, which was sometimes a source of amusement to
the Court and Bar. When some brother lawyer would ask the
Court for a rule against Mr. Chenault to put his pleadings in
writing that can be read.
It is well remembered that on one occasion when the writer
was in the clerk's office early one morning, Mr. Chenault came in
and threw down on the table the petition in an old case, which
was in his own hand-writing, and said: "M — , I wish you would
make me a copy of this petition," and he immediately stepped
out, and as soon, the writer went to work to copy it, which called
for a close scrutiny and much study, finishing the work as
best he could the copyist certified. "The foregoing is as true a
copy as I can make from the original." In the evening Mr. Che-
nault came back and said "M" did you copy that little petition
for me?" When the copy as made was handed him, which he
opened and looked at, and then remarked: "That is all right,
I had no idea you could copy it, the reason I wanted you to copy
it, I could not read it myself," and then he shouted, jumped and
laughed in a manner that could have been heard a considerable
distance, and his actions peculiar only to himself, were very amus-
ing, and that copy no doubt is among the papers of that old case
today. (Walton v Jones.) Mr. Chenault would sometimes tell
this. He was a fine man. He and his wife had one child:
1. Isabella Chenault; married William Argo. (See Part VII,
Chapter 5, Section 2.)

HEZEKIAH OLDHAM.
(Named in Chapter 13, Section 3.)
Article 1. — Hezekiah Oldliani, a son of Captain John Oldham and
Ajinis Rice his wife, was born in Caswell County, North Carolina
April 10, 1787.
He came to Kentucky with his parents in 17 9 5, and on the 7th
dav of Oct. 1813, he married Mary Kavanaugh of Madison County,
^-r
HEZEKIAH OLDHAM.
MARY KAVANAUGH.
Wife of Hezekiah Oldham.
who was born April 29, 1798, she being in the sixteenth year of her
age. Mary Kananaugh was a daughter of William Kavanaugh and
Hannah Woods his wife. (See Part VII, Chap. 8, Sec. 3.) Heze-
kiah Oldham died July 13, 1868, and his wife died Sept. 10, 1882.
At the February Term 1810, of the Estill County Court, he was
appointed third ir-spertor of hemp, flour and tobacco at Water's
inspection. His education consisted in only knowing how to read,
write and cypher. He went to school to Hutchison. Hezekiah
Oldham was a farmer on a large scale, being the owner of 2500
acres of land and a dealer in all kinds of live stock, and farm prod-
ucts, tobacco, etc., raised on his own farm tobacco in large quantities
in his earlier life, and would buy up all the hogs for sale in the
country around for the southern market, which would be driven
through to the South. And ship tobacco in flat boats from his land-
ing on the Kentucky River to New Orleans market, to which me-
tropolis he made several trips, and would dispose of all, and return
home through the country, getting rides when he could, much of the
way back made on foot, for want of other modes of travel.
The story goes that one year, he raised a large crop of tobacco,
and bought up all the tobacco in the country, and made ready for
its shipment to New Orleans, and the low stage of the water pre-
vented the shipment and he held the tobacco till the next year and
added to it his new crop and other purchases, and went and carried
History and Genealogies 523
his cargo of flat boats to New Orleans and there disposed of it all,
and sk-apped $12,000 in belts around his person and started on foot
home, catching rides on the way as he could, and arrived safely
at home with the money, the proceeds of his stock.
Besides the farm, field and stock dealing, he was the proprietor
of and conducted the business of running trains of wagons, o^ten
from eight to sixteen horses attached to one wagon, and at places
requiring it the teams would be doubled, as was often necessary
which business he personally superintended and managed, being
out in the night and exposed to all sorts of inclement weather,
hauling pig iron from the Kentucky Mountain furnaces and iron
works, salt from Goose Creek salt works, and goods from Cincinnati
and Louisville to Richmond and various other interior towns, these
were the activities of a past age, but necessary in that day. He was
well known and trusted over a large portion of Kentucky and in
the South. Nearly every one knew of Kie Oldham and his personal
acquaintances were legion. Although having been dead for nearly
forty years still the memory of this noted man and his character
exists in the minds of the people and there can scarcely be found a
person twenty years of age who cannot relate something of his life.
His career extended from a period reaching back near to the close
of the Revolution to some years after the close of the civil war,
within which space transpired many important and noted events,
such as the war of 1S12. rhe Mexican and the Civil War, Indian wars,
in different parts, the Louisiana and Spanish purchases and other
grants to the nation, and wonderful improvements in farming im-
plements, machinery of all kinds and modes of transportation, etc.,
which he witnessed from a primitive to a most improved state.
Through him was handed down to his children and from his children
to their children the account of his grand-father William Oldham and
the traditions related in Chapter 2, and the losing sight of Edward,
and of his uncles and aunts, (brothers and sisters to his father.
Captain John Oldham) whom he knew the story of whom has
been given from parent to child to the present generation, and
is believed by the descendants. When a boy Mr. Oldham, the
subject, accompanied his father with the first drove of hogs from
Kentucky to the South Carolina market. (See Chap. 1, Item

course was unquestioned, but conservative and wise in his dealings
with men, he made few enemies, and numbered his friends by the
score.
He was a large slave owner and out spoken in his allegiance
to the Southern cause, but never joined the army, or was at any
time connected with military service. He possessed a rare fund of
humor, and a large sympathy with human nature, and these traits
kept his heart young, and preserved the sparkle in his eye which
made him the favorite of young and old alike. He never sought

MARY KAVANAUGH OLDHAM.
(Named in Chapter 19, Section 2.)
Article 1. — Mary Kavanaugh Oldham, a daughter of William Kava-
naugh Oldham, senior, and Jacintha Catherine Brown his wife,
was born in Madison County, Ky., Feb. 4, 1854, married Jan.
3, 1882, to Colonel James Phillip Eagle, of Lonoke, Arkansas,
the man-iage occuring at the home of her father in Madison
County, Ky.
After their marriage Colonel Eagle and his wife, went to the
state of Arkansas, where they lived the remainder of their days,
residing for a numebr of years on Colonel Eagle's cotton plantation
in Riohwoods, Lonoke County. Colonel Eagle was a prominent
minister of the Missionary Baptist Church, served several times
as President of the Southern Baptist Convention, a large and infiu
ential organization. Was a large cotton planter, and in his adopted
state, Arkansas, having been born in Tennessee from which he
moved with his parents when a youth, he was very prominent and
influential and popular, having been elected several times to the
Arkansas Legislature from Lonoke County, and speaker of the House
of Representatives. Was twice elected Governor of the State,
administering the affairs of state with signal ability, and statesman-
ship, creditably to himself and to the people. When elected Gover-
nor, hp ard his wife left their country home in Richwoods and moved
to Little Rock, the Capital of the state, where they acquired a nice,
commodious and handsome mansion, richly furnished with every-
thing needful for their comfort and pleasure, including an excellent
library of rare books. They had no children. They travelled a great
deal. All their earthy wants were bountifully supplied.
On the 15th day of Feb. 1903, (Sunday morning) at their
mansion Mrs. Eagle departed this life in peace with her God, sur-
rounded by her loving husband and her sisters and brothers, honored
and respected by the people, of her adopted state, and hosts of
/[isfori/ and Genealor/irs 529
friends and admirers scattered over the United States and else-
where, for she had acquired National reputation by reason of her
connedtion with the Congress of Women, Worlds Columbian Ex-
position, Chicago, U. S. A., 1893, to which she was elected a delegate
fiom the State of Arkansas, and was Chairman of the Committee
of Congresses, of the Board of Lady Managers and Editor in two
large volumes of the Congress.
Colonel Eagle was never well after the death of his wife, which
was a severe shock to him. He wrote a beutiful book of Memoirs
of his wife after her death (which is referred to), had a handsome
and costly monument erected in the cemetery at Little Rock to
himself and wife while he lived.
On the day of 1904, he passed peacefully away, at
hi'5 Little Rock home. After a great funeral concourse his remains
were buried by the side of his wife's in the Little Rock Cemetery.
He was a hard student and obtained the major portion of his edu-
cation after arriving at manhood. He served through the Civil
Wa ■ of 1862, in the army of the confederate states, enlisting as
private promoted to the rank of Colonel. He gave much to churches
and charities, the latter days of his life especially being consecrated
to the cause of his redeemer. The press published much con-
cerning the works and lives of this couple.

Madison County, Ky., Dec. 5, 1856, and at her father's home
near Richmond, Ky., on the 27th day of Feb. 1884, she was

schools. While she does not claim to be an author, she has from
time to time published short articles in periodicals that have always
elicited favorable comment. She has been for many years a member
of the Regular Baptist Church. Quoted from Ex-Governor .Tames P.
Eagle's Memoir of his wife:
"From Mrs. Kate Miller of Richmond, Ky., came the following
lines as a tribute to her departed sister:
The frost of death is on her brow.
The waxen hands lie still and cold;
And over eyes of softest blue
The eye-lids' jetty fringes fold.
Sweet thoughts seem poised upon the lips,
Half smiling so like life they are.
But light and thought have closed their doors—
In brighter lands they wander far.

The chiseled image, fair and white,
Holds not the spirit fairer still.
But all within is night and death,
And waits death's mission to fulfill.
'Tis but the alabaster vase.
Which holds our cherished rose in bloom;
The fragrance still we have, but she
Now spreads her leaves in larger room.
What though the tears from grieving hearts,
Well up and flood our heavy eyes,
Our sorrow still is full of hope.
We know she lives in paradise.
What though the curtain darkly falls
And hides our friend from living view;
Whate'er the clime where she abides.
We know her loving, leal and true.
That which we had we still will claim.
Nor will we count our treasure lost:
Sweet commune still with her we'll hold.
Nor count the tears our parting cost.
Nor hours, nor days, nor weary years,
Can from our lives her life efface;
And somewhere in the halls of time,
We'll meet and greet her face to face.
For all events are garnered grain,
If we God's laws but understood.
And days of care, and nights of pain.
And death and sorrow work for good.
Nothing is lost in wisdom's plan.
Through toil and tears we reach the goal;
Toward that divine event we move.
Which solves the mystery of the soul."
No children were born to William H. Miller and Katherlne
Oldham his wife.

WILLIAxM KAVANAUGH OLDHAM, Jr.
(Named in Chapter 19, Section 7.)
Article 1.— William Kavanaugh Oldham, Jr., a son of William Kava-
naugh and Jacintha Catherine Brown his wife, was born in Mad-
ison County, Ky., May 29, 1865.
He obtained most of his education at the common schools of
Madison County and Central University
at Richmond. At about the age of seven-
teen he and his younger brother Kie left
Richmond on horse back, and rode
through the country to Lonoke, Arknasas,
where he has since made his home, and
there became superintendent and mana-
ger of the cotton plantation of his
brother-in-law E.x-Governor James P.
Eagle, which position he held as long as
Governor Eagle lived, and managed the
affairs to the entire satisfaction of Mr.
Eagle. He now owns a good landed
estate in Lonoke County. He married
Lillian Munroe. a daughter of Welling-
lon Munroe, of the town of Lonoke on
the — day
Mr. Oldham recently received at the
hands of the Democratic party of his
County of Lonoke, the nomination as a
candidate for a seat in the Lower House
Hon. WM. K. OLDHAM, Jr. of the General Assembly of the State of
Arkansas, and was elected.
. ^. . , , After the adjournment of the thirty
sixth session of the Arkansas Legislature of 1907. the Daily Arkansas
532 History and Genealogies
Democrat published with other things in its editorial colunis, the
follov/ing:
"Hamiter and Oldham brothers leaders in past Legislature.
"Senator John H. Hamiter, Senator Kie Oldham, Pulaski, and
Speaker Allien Hamiter, of Lafayette, and Representative Oldham of
Lonoke, made their influence felt upon Legislature in the State
General Assemgly. Each one extremely popular in his sphere.
So far as the records show there has never been a session of the
Arkansas Legislature in which there has been two sets of brothers,
one each in the senate and the house, until that which recently ad-
journed. In the thirty sixth there was senator John H. Hamiter
in the South wing, and Speaker, Allen H. Hamiter, in the House,
and Senator Kie Oldham in the South and Hon. W. K. Oldham in
the house. This condition is said to have never existed before. The
two senators rerresent the same County, Pulaski. The tenth sen-
atorial district composed of Pulaski, and Perry Counties is represent-
ed by two Little Rock attorneys, Hon. John H. Hamiter and Kie
Oldham. But in the House the other brothers represent widely
divergent counties. Mr. Oldham represented Lonoke County, lying
to the east of Pulaski, while Speaker Hamiter was elected from
Lafayette County, but represented the state at large in his position
as presiding officer of the House.
"Hon. W. K. Oldham in the House was rarely on the floor, but
the opponents of bills he favored never for once forgot he was there.
Representative Oldham is one of the most unique characters of the
past General Assembly. Such intense love for a brother is rarely
seen as that of Will Oldham for Senator Oldham. Always mindful
of the physical necessities and comforts of his distinguished brother
Mr. Oldham was noted by all with whom he came in contact. And
on Legislative matters he was a power to be considered at all times.
Never pushing himself into the fight, but standing at all times ready
to defend his position, or yet to make the attack if necessary. Mr.
Oldham won for himself a position high in the regard of his fellows.
As chairman of the Insurance Committee, Mr. Oldham occupied
a most important and interesting position. When the various in-
surance measures came up for discussion, he was always ready to
give data regarding any feature of the questions, all were guaranteed
of a fair and impartial hearing. While Mr. Oldham favored the
passage of a bill which would relieve the situation so far as insurance
was concerned, the opponents of this were always allowed to be
heard and the arguments were listened to with deep attention.
The repeal of the feature of the Anti-Trust law which affects
insurance companies, was the biggest matter coming before the In-
surance Committee. Some time was spent in discussing the bill.
United States Senator Jeff Davis appeared before the committee and
iought the bill. But the committee recommended that the bill
pass, and it passed. This is one of the few committees whose reco-
mendations was not reversed by the House, nor the senate.
Hon. William K. Oldham came to Arkansas in 188.5, from Mad-
ison County, Ky. His whole life has been spent on a farm, and he
is one of the most sucessful planters in Lonoke County. He was
educated at Central University inRichmond, Ky. He and Senator
Kie Oldham of Pulaski are brothers and have been associated in bus-
iness since they came to Arkansas. It has been noticed that they
have been constantly together when the general assembly was not
in session. Mr. Oldham was in the race for Representative only
nine days. This is his first political venture, but his services in the
House have demonstrated that he was one of the strongest men oa

the floor. His power was felt by the opposition during the pendency
of the Argenta bill, the Lee-Browning bill, and upon the occasion
or his bout with his colleague. Hon. Joseph B. Reed, over the repeal
of the foui--wire fence law which applies to their County.." (See

Article 1. — Kic Oldham, (called Kie) a son of William Kavanaugh
Oldham and Jacintha Catherine Bro«ii his wife, was born in
Madison County, Ky., Jan. 17, 1869, when a youth went with
his elder brotlier AVilliam, each on ht)rse back, from Richmond
to Lonoke, Arkansas, in which state he has since made liis home,
and whrrc he completed his education, at a Baptist College at
Te.varkana, and aftenvards gi-aduated in a school of law.
His profession being that of a lawyer. Was private secretary
to Governor Eagle, whilst Governor of
that State. Was attorney for various
tribes of Ute Indians i-epresenting them
in causes pending in the United States
Court of Claims, for damages for Indian
depredations, and depredations of others
against the LTtes, and he went over the
western states and territories taking dep-
ositions in the cases, and in which cases
he was very successful. He was also,
attorney for Cuban American Claimants
in causes pending in the United States
Tribunals for damages caused by the
Spanish-American war, which the United
States in their treaty with Spain in some
manner assumed the liability, and spent
from the fall of 1903, till the summer or
fall of 1904, on the island of Cuba, taking
u^vi iric- r^i r^uA»« depositions in the cases, which are as
HON. KIE OLDHAM. ..^^ undetermined.
He married Caroline Weeden, a daughter of Captain William
Weeden of Waubaseeka, Arkansas, and he owns a home in Little
Rock, the Capital of the State of Arkansas, where they live. Xo
children have been born to them. Mr. Oldham recently received from
•534 Ilistori/ and Genealogies
the Democrats of the senatorial District in which the City of Little
Rock is, the nomination as a candidate for State Senator and was
elected. (See Part 6, Chap. 23.)
The Arkansas Daily Democrat, further said:
"Kie Oldham was born in Madison County, Ky., in 1869. He is a
son of Wiliam Kavanaugh Oldham and Jacintha Kate Brown, the
former a native of Kentucky, and the latter of Virginia. He is a
brother of Mrs. James P. Eagle, and of the Hon. W. K. Oldham,
Representative from Lonoke County. He came to Arkansas in 1884.
He graduated from Ouachita College in 1889, and in 1893 entered
the University of Virginia, completing his law studies in June, 1894.
He was admitted to the bar Oct. 3, 1894, since which time his home
and law office have been in Little Rock. His most conspicuous
service in the Senate was rendered in the passage of the bill pro-
viding for the re-annexation of Avgenta to Little Rock, in the pas-
sage of the Fellow Servant Bill, which bears his name, and as chair-
man of the joint committee on the State Capital.
Senator Oldham has been considered to be one of the leading
members of the upper house. His hundreds of friends regretted ex-
ceedingly his determination to not stand for the Lieutenant Governor-
ship. As chairman of the State Capital Committe, Senator Oldham
came into close contact with the greatest proposition brought to the
attention of the General Assembly. In that position as presiding
officer of this committee, he displayed the best in the man. Careful,
conservative, yet energetic, and possessed of a determination to
get at the heart of every point presented, he was of invaluable aid
to the committee, and incidentally to the state of Arkansas. Senator
Oldham is one of the most beloved members of the senate. While
he fought strenuously many measures which came before the upper
body, he never for once lost the high esteem of every member.
in the Argenta re-annexation fight, he was a moving spirit. And
at the same time he desired the right to be done, and to give every
interest and person a fair hearing. When the Lee-Browning bill
came up for discussion, Senator Oldham was found battling for the
business interests of the state and each have but further endeared
him to the people.

sister of both, and they were the children of Isaac Oldham by his
first marriage. By Isaac Oldham's second marriage, there 'were
eleven children five sons and six daughters, fourteen in all, who
grew to be men and women. The children of the first marriage,
to-wit: William, John and Sarah Oldham serried in Louisville and
Lexington, Ky. The children of the second marriage: James,
Thomas, Isaac, Alline, Mary, Elizabeth, Catherine Esther and Robert,
settled in Ohio, Hannah in Missouri.- Samuel the youngesr, born in
1792, remained on the home place in Virginia until his death, March
1876.
Isaac Oldham, the father, was past fifty years of age when the
Revolution begun: he was born in 1726, and died on what he calls
his plantarion in Ohio County, Va., in 1821. I will quote you a para-
graph from his last will and testament, which was proven in Court,
Ohio County, Va., at the September term A D 1821. "I give and
bequeath to my son William Oldham, the sum of one dollar; my
daughter Sarah, one dollar: my son John, one dollar, also, to my
son, James the sum of one dollar, in addition to what they have pre-
viously received. I am not able to say what had been previously
given to the children William, John and Sarah, but James, who was
the eldest child by the second marriage received in 1799, a deed
for one hundred acres of land Middle Wheeling Creek, Ohio County,
Va. That there had been some settlement of the interests of the
children named before their going to the south is doubtless true,
as shown by the will. I can't say, who was the mother of William,
John and Sarah, nor can I tell you where the birth place of Isaac
was.
Samuel Oldham, who died in Louisville, in 1823, was the brother
of Isaac Oldham, and not the brother of Colonel William Oldham,
as stated in some genealogies that have been complied.
Note: Mr. Thurston's Tree, sets forth Lieutenant Colonel William
Oldham, killed at St. Clair's defear, Samuel Oldham, who died in
Loui.'^ville in 18 2?., and Winifred Oldham, v.-ho married Colonel
John Neville, as brothers and sister, and children of John Oldham
and Ann Conway. (Writer.)
He was a resident of Frederick or Jefferson County prior to the
formarion of Berkely County in 177 0, but was included in Berkely
when that County was formed. Adam Stephens was the first sheriff
of that County, (Berkely) and Samuel Oldham was one of the sure-
ties on the bond, which was in the sum of one thousand pounds
current money, and the default to our Sovereign Lord, King George,
the third. Daniel Morgan was another surety on the bond. John
Neville was one of the Justices approving the bond. John Neville,
was the second sheriff of Berkely County. He married Winifred
Oldham. He was a Colonel in the Revolution in the Virginia line.
At the end of that struggle, he removed to Pittsburg, Pa. Was
United States Marshall, during the whiskey insurrection in the five
^^'estern Counties of Pennsylvania, and had his dwelling burned by
the rioters. Both himself and wife died and were buried at Pitts-
burg. Pa. The wife of General Neville was as I have stated Winifred
Oldham, the sister of Samuel Oldham, of Berkely County, Va., the
same who died at Louisville, Ky., in 1823, and the sister of Isaac
Oldham. "Allspaugh in his Annals of the West, states that General
Daniel Morgan, and Lieutenant Neville were brothers-in-law. If that
statement is true then General Morgan, married an Oldham. Samuel
Oldham was one of the sureties on General Ne\nlle's bond as sheriff
History and (TPncfilorjirs 551
of Berkeley County, and between the years 177 2 and 17S2, the time
he removed to Louisville, Ky., his name is on some nine legal
instruments on record in Berkeley County, Virginia.
Isaac Oldham's military record in the Revolution from 1778,
to 1783, was in Captain John Van Meter's company of Pennsylvania
Rangers. (See Pennsylvania Archives 3rd series, Vol. XXIII, p. 228-
319.) This company was raised in Westmoreland County, Pa. Will-
iam anH John served in Canrain Nelson's coniDanv of Indejiend-
ent Riflemen, which was raised in Westmoreland County, Pa. This
company was raised for service in Canada, but when at Ticondaroga
to join Montgomery, by a resolution of the Continental Congress,
attached to the third Pennsylvania Regiment, Colonel Wayne com-
manding, and afterwards to the fifth Pennsylvania, Colonel Johnson,
commanding. After Nelson had been retired from the service John
Oldham became the Captain of the company and William who had
been Ensign, was promoted to a Lieutenant. William was never
Captain of this company, unless it was by brevet. John continued
Captain until his resignation.
John Oldham — ^Captain Oldham's company, formerly Nelson's
company, was an independent one. and was by resolution of Conti-
nental Congress, March 24, 1777, attached to the fifth Pennsylvania,
Colonel Francis Johnson commanding. He was commissioned the
27th of Sept. 1776, and retired from the service Jan. 1, 1781. Will-
iam Oldham was first Lieutenant. (See Penn. Archives second series
Vol. X.) William Oldham of Pennsylvania was first Lieutenant of
Nelson's company. Independent Rifles of Westmoreland County Pa.,
from Jan. 30, 1776, to Jan. 1777. Was Lieutenant Colonel command-
ing the militia force under Governor St. Clair and was killed at St.
Clair's defeat, near Fort Recovery Ohio, Nov. 4, 1791. — Pennsyl-
vania Archives second series, Vo. X, p. 62 — .
Isaac Oldham, made many trips by flat boats or Kentucky "Broad-
horns," between 1783, and 1800. On one of these trips the co_^nvoy
of boats was attacked by the savages, when some forty miles above
Louisville. The first fire of the Indians on the arched roof of the
boats resembled a hail storm from the glancing balls. All the
boats escaped, except Greathouse, which was captured, landed and
destroyed, those on board taken captives from whom nothing was
ever head (of them.) On the arrival of the other boats at Louis-
ville, a detachment of cavalry was sent in pursuit of the Indians,
but without avail. Many incidents of the early settlements and of
kindred I have heard from my father, but as I was only a boy of
less than sixteen at the time of his death they made but little Im-
pression upon me. As the matter now stands I am one of the three
or four of the second generation whom can say Isaac Oldham was
their Grand-Father. ** Respectfully,
SAMUEL OLDHAM.
Extract from Samuel Oldham's letter of Dec. 16, 1905:
"Samuel, who was the uncle of William, John and Sarah, settled
at Louisville, where he resided until his death in 1823. Did Sarah
go to Louisville with Samuel? I think she did, for neither William
or Captain John were married until after they settled in Kentucky.
William according to all authorities married Penelope Pope. ** The
date of Sarah's marriage to William ^leriweathei" is inaccurately
stated. The Virginia Historical Magazine Vol. VII. p. 103, does not
give the date of the marriage. The Tree of William Oldham's des-
cendant, fixes the date as 1788. Did the Oldham's I have named, or
any of them engage in business, Merchantile or Manufactory, at the
'^'5'? Tlistorti (111(1 (j('ii('(ilo(/i('f<
fall of the Ohio? (Note: One William Oldham owned a cotton
factory in Lexington, Ky., as late as 1825, writer.) If they did the
County records would throw some light on the matter. I think they
did, and my reason for thinking so, is from the fact that grand-
father, Isaac Oldham, made several trips to Louisville, both before
and after William's death. These trips were made on Kentucky
"Arks" or "Broadhorns," as these flat boats were called. **
"The settlement with William, John and Sarah, as shown by
grand-father's will, may have been made after they went to Ken-
tucky, or it may have been made before,, but that it was made the
■will itself shows, which is of record in Ohio County, Va. The fact
that William, John and Sarah, were the children of Isaac Oldham, is
known to numbers of Isaac Oldham's great grand-children. Of the
grand-children, only six remain, Thomas and J. R. Smith of Dallas,
West Virginia., the former 88, the latter 86, vears of age. Mrs.
Mary Armstrong, aged 75 years, the youngest child of Samuel Old-
ham, the youngest son of Isaac Oldham. He died in 1884.
Mrs. Armstrong has grand-father's Bible, I think. Mv brothers,
my sister and myself, are the only grand-childrsn" of Isaac
Oldham and the nieces and nephews of William, John and Sarah
Oldham."

From Samuel Oldham's letter of Jan. 6, 1906:
** "I hand you with this a copy of the official bond of Adam
Stephens, the first sheriff of Berkely County, Va. You will notice
that one of the Oldham's is one of the sureties on this bond,. Aside
from this interesting fact, the Daniel Morgan namrr; as one of
sureties, was the famous Revolutionary officer of that name. His
grave is in the old cemetery at Winchester, Va. **
"My father Robert Oldham, has been asleep more than fifty years,

brance of which has aided me much in the quest I have been mak-
ing."

From Samuel Oldham's letter of Feb. 4, 1906:
•"I have a copy of the Tree of William Oldham, and will say to
o5 !- llisfnri/ and Genealogies
you as I wrote to Mi-. A. V. Oldham of Louisville, that from William
Oldham down the Tree is highly creditable.** The value of the
Tree as a record depends upon the intermarriage and offspring of
Colonel Samuel Oldham and the widow Elizabeth Newton, whose
maiden name was Elizabeth Stark. There is nothing to show where
either Samuel Oldham or the widow Elizabeth Xewton resided at
the time of their marriage. That they after marriage settled in
Westmoreland County, Va., and continued to reside there until
their death, I have no doubt, but I would like very much to know
where this marriage of Colonel Samuel Oldham and the widow of
Captain Thomas Xewton took place, and where Colonel Samuel Old-
ham resided prior to the marriage.
It is stated in the Tree, that the offspring of this marriage was
John Oldham, born in 17 05. "The William and Mary's Quarterly,
Vol. IX, page 249, says that Elizabeth Oldham, was the daughter
of Xephemiah Stark. She. married, first, Captain Thomas Xewton,
and married, in 1728, Colonel Oldham: she was the step-daughter
of Major Andrew Gilson, and conveyed her part of the land by patent
to her mother. In the deed she calls Willougby Xewton "my son and
heir." Geneologists have made searching enquiries about this John
Oldham, but he has not been found. It would seem that the marriage
of Colonel Samuel Oldham, and the widow Xewton, took place in
1728; how could John Oldham born in 170.5. be the child of Eliza-
beth Oldham, and why did she call Willoughby Xewton her son and
heir, if John Oldham, her son and heir, had an existence at all? It
is said in the Tree, that this John Oldham married Ann Conway.
Hayden says Ann Conway married Robert Emons in 1729. With
Colonel Samuel Oldham's marriage with the widow of Captain Xew-
ton in 1728 and John Oldham's birth in 1705, and Ann Conway's
marriage to Robert Emons in 1729, we may dismiss the subject with-
out further comment.** "In William Oldham's Tree, no mention
is made of Samuel Oldham's birth place, or from M^hence he came
when he settled in Louisville, he was simply a brother of William.
Sarah Oldham is made the daughter of Samuel. In the Virginia
Historical Magazine Vol. VII, page 103, "Sarah Oldham married
William Merewether, was born in 1757-8, and died in 1814." No
statement of her parentage is given.
From letter of Samuel Oldham, of April 6, 1906:
"Mrs. Armstrong is the only child of uncle Samuel living, and
as her father died in 187 6, and as grand-father called it in his
will, Mrs. Armstrong probably knov/s a great deal about the Old-
hams. In a conversation with her some two years ago, I said to
her: "The descendants of Captain John and Colonel William do not
think that Isaac Oldham, was the father of John and William. To
this she replied "but he was." In this matter of investigating the
genealogies of the Oldham family I have no purpose or interest lo
subserve only the truth, that is what I am seeking, and have kept
steadfastly in view.** I have a note from Mr. John Baxter of
Oklahoma City, 0. T., who is the grand son of Isaac Oldham, and
his wife, Sarah (Marling) Oldham, in which he says: "Two or three
brother's came from England, and settled in South Carolina, they_
afterwards removed to Vermont, and then settled in Lancaster
County, Pa. I remember hearing my grand-father say that he was
born in Bedford County, Pa., in 1779. That Isaac Oldham bought
and improved a farm near West Alexander in Virginia. That two
half brothers left home and went to Kentucky, near Lexington, who
had no correspondence with the rest of the family, on account of
differences in politics during the Revolution." Two sisters married
and settled in Baltimore and one sister lived in Pittsburg. If your
grand-father was not one of the two, or three brothers who came
History and Genealogies 555
from England, he was born and married in Vermont. If the two
brorhe^s who went to Kentucky belonged to that generation,
their names were John and William. The sister of Isaac Oldham at
Pittsburg, was doubtless Mrs. Neville, who was the sister of Samuel
Oldham at Martinsburg." Here is another note, this is from Mr.
J. T. Oldham, the grand-son of Thomas Oldham, the second son of
Isaac Oldham and his wife Sarah (Anderson) Oldham, born 1777,
married Miss Xancy Davis of Virginia in 1797. Mr. Oldham's home
is in Cambridge, Guernsey Counry, Ohio.
"My great grand-father and his family came from New Jersey,
and settled in Western Pennsylvania, and Ohio County, Va. My
grand-father came to Ohio from Washington County, Pa. The mem-
bers of the family who came to Ohio from Western Pennsylvania
and Virginia were Isaac, Thomas (the vv-riter's grandfather), James
and Robert. Samuel remained in Virginia.** There were two half
brothers who migrated to Kentucky — Colonel William Oldham,
killed at St. Clair's defeat, was one of them, he was a half brolher
of my grand-father." A note from Mrs. Florence Jon.^.-5 of Reynolds-
burg, Ohio, a grand-daughter of Isaac Oldham, and his wife Sarah
(Marling) Oldham, says: "I can't answer your questions in regard
to your grand-father, except that he was twice married." I am of
the opinion that Isaac Oldham's first wife died and was buried in
Frederick County, Va. The second wife was Miss Sarah Anderson.
It is insisted that this marriage took place at Bedford County, Pa.
This wife, my grand-mother, was the sister of Colonel William
Anderson of the Revolution, she was also, a sister of Mr. C. Anderson
a Magistrate of Allegheny County, Pa. Colonel William settled in
Washington County, Pa., where he resided until his death.
Isaac Oldham the third child of Isaac Oldham, and his wife Sarah
(Anderson) Oldham, married Miss Sarah Marling of Haper's Ferry,
Va. Once a year for many years after this settlement in Ohio 1807,
(the Indians had not gone away yet under the Greenville Treaty)
she would make a trip to her old home to the Ferry on horse back."
From Samuel Oldham's letter of May 2 6, 1906:
"In the way of Oldham names I will give you those of my
father's family: Sarah, Isaac. Eliza, John, Roberf, Ann, William,
Robert, Martha Ann, Samuel, Thomas and Phoeba. You will notice
that Robert is mentioned twice. The first Robert died in infancy.
All those I have named have crossed over the river, but Samuel,
Thomas and Phoeba. The children of my grand-father's family as
mentioned in his will were: William, John Sarah, James, Elizabeth,
Thomas, Isaac, Catherine, Hannah, Esther, Alline, Mary Robert and
Samuel."
Note — Mr. Samuel Oldham of Zanesville, states that there was
but one Captain John Oldham in the Continental Army, which is
error. There was Captain John, of the Pennsylvania Rifles, and
Captain John, of the North Carolina line, who after the war settled
in Estill County, Ky., where he died. (Writer.)
Samuel Oldham's letter of August 28, 1906:
"I have been in quest of information in regard to Robert Old-
ham, who is mentioned in Pennsylvania Archives as having pur-
chased land in Buck's County, Pa., in the year 1707. Mr. Warren
S. Ely, of Doyleston, the Librarian of Buck's County Historical
Society, is making the quest for me. In a recent note from him he
says "The reference of Dr. Hayden, in regard to Robert Oldham, is
to Pennsylvania Archives, second series page 48.''>, of Vol. XIX, it
reads as follows: "10-2-1707. "Sold Robert Oldham 100 acres of
land joyning on William Hentley for £20, to be paid in 12 months,
with interest Rent as Hentley." "It a minute of the commissioners
of proi)erty and interest in minute book "G." The sequel to it is
556 Histonj and Genealogies
found on page 396, of the same volume, under date of June 30th,
1705, which reads as follows: "William Hentley desiring to pur-
chase 200 acres at the head of Peter Dix's land, beyond Brandvwine,
joining on Thomas Withers, agrees to pay £40 at a shilling per cent
rent. Granted, provided Joel Bailey, may also be accommodated
with the like, if he desires it, on the same terms. He is to pay
£20 in three mon'hs and the rest first month 1705, with fifteen
months interest, if he can sooner. "The application of Joel Bailey
for the 2 00 acres above referred to is found on page 34 7, and was
held in abeyance, because it was ordered, that the land be sold, very
sparingly for the future in the County of Xew Castle, or there abouts.
"Joel Bailey was of Chester County, near Robert Pyles.
"All these irems show that the grant of Robert Oldham was in
the lower part of Chester County near the line of New Castle,
Delaware, and was without doubt, the same 70 acres and 40 acres,
held respectively by Robert Oldham and John Oldham 1765-1778,
in East Nottingham, township, Chester County, referred to in my
last letter, and a memorandum you have among Dr. Hayden'n notes.
"Wh'- Dr. Fayden should have conceived that the land was in Buck's
County, I cannot understand, it was probably merely a suggestion
not followed up by research. Anyhow, your quest should be in
Chester County.
"Your Isaac Oldham, if of this line, was more probably a grand
son of Robert Oldham of 1707, than a son. The land appears to have
been partitioned off between a Robert and a John, prior to 1765."

"Edward Oldham, (probably eldest son of Robert Oldham) of
Nottingham, Chester County, his wife Mary White had a warrant of
survey for 150 acres of land in Lancaster County Feb. 4, 1735-6.
(See Pennsylvania Archives Volume XXIV, page 495.) This land
was doubtless in that part of Lancaster which then extended to the
"Setting Sun," laid off in Cumberland in 1750. Bedford laid off
out of Cumberland 1771, and Westmoreland out of Bedford 1773.
This would place Isaac, if son of Edward, and grand son of Robert,
where you first found him. There is no will of Edward Oldham
in Lancaster County, but he may have died in Cumberland prior to
the organization of Bedford 1771.** "I believe Edward was old
enough to be the father of Isaac born 17 2 6.
"The Oldhams all left Chester prior to 1800.
"Find nothing of Robert and Rachael Oldham, after that date.
"I have assumed that Mary, wife of Robert Oldham senior, was
Mary White, mentioned in the will of Joseph White in 173 2, but
this is possibly a violent presumption, as the Mary White Oldham
there mentioned may have been the widow of Thomas Oldham, Jr.,
to whom letters of administration were granted in 1750, though not
very probable, possibly as Thomas Oldham, the father mentions only
one child of his deceased son Thomas in 1756. Mary was probably
not married to Thomas Jr., as early as 1732." You will notice that
these notes do not account for a John Oldham who was a land owner
in Nottingham 17 73 to 1789, or some where there. (See my former

"I still hold that if you are a descendant of Robert Oldham,
Isaac was a grand son. There is hardly room to doubt that Robert's
sons were old enough to have a child born in 1726.
"Did you ever hear of the Thomas Oldham, seems contempora-
neous with Robert, in the same Township?"
Mr. Miller, I send you these extracts** with the hope that at
least they may be interesting.** You will see that the location of

Xotes included in Samuel Oldham's letter of Jan. 28, 1907:
"John Oldham, 1600-1636. Born in England A D 1600, emigra-
ted to Plymouth in 1623. In 1624, he and an Episcopal minister
named John Lyford, conspired against the government of Plymouth,
and dispatched letters containing charges aganist the established
authorities to England. The plot was detected and Oldham was
banished from the Colony, although he later became reconciled with
the inhabitants, and rendered them some service. Settling in Mas-
sachusetts Bay Colony, he became a man of prominence, and was
Deputy from ^Yatertov/n to the first General Court of Magistrates
of Massachusetts. In 1636, while he was on a trading expedition
his pinnace was treacherously captured near Block Island. His
murder was the immediate cause of the famous Pequod War. (Inter-
national Encyclopedia.) It proved that the murderers were chiefly
Block Island Indians, with a few of the Xarragansetts, who then
governed that Island. It was supposed, seeing these Indians with
Mr. Oldham, that they were in the plot, as some of the Narraganset
Sachems were found to be. Those who escaped crossed the sound to
the Pequod Indians and were protected by them. The Governor
and Council of Massachusetts determined to demand satisfaction of
the Xarragansett and Pequods, for their crimes, and ninety men hav-
ing volunteered to form an expedition. Captain Endicott was ap-
pointed to command them, and they first visited the Xarragansetts.
These Indians submitted to the terms, gave up the sons of Mr. Old-
ham, promised good behavior for the future. The Pequods how-
ever, would do nothing, and Captain Endicott was ordered to take
possession of Block Island, kill the men recross the sound, to the
Pequod Country. (Dwights History of Connecticut.)
In confidence of their fidelity (Pequods) John Oldham** went
in a small bark to trade with the natives of Block Island, and they
mur:lered him, but spared his two boys, and two Xarragansett
Indians who were of his company. The murderers were discovered
by a crew of small vessel, one Gallup, master from Connecticut v\-liich
haipen^d to come upon them soon after the fact. Gallup had with
him, only one man and two boys, and no arms except two muskets
and two pistols. Although the deck was full of Indians who had
guns, swords, and yet they were not much used to them, they made
but little resistance and when he boarded the vessel they jumped into
the sea, and many of them were drowned. He found Oldham's
bodv rot cold, his brains beat out, and his hands hacked off. (Win-
throps History of Massachusetts, Volume 1, page 160.) This occur-
red in the year 1636.
John Oldham murdered by the Indians, who came aboard his
vessel to trade in 163 6. This event brought on the Pequod war.
He came to Plymouth in 1623, associated with Lyford in 1624,
and sat up a separate worship on the sabbath (Church of England)
intending to alter — perhaps assume the Government. He afterwards
lived at Hull, and Cape Ann, and represented Watertown in 163 4.
In 163 3, with Hall and others he traveled from Dorchester to a
place on the Connecticut River, now called Windsor. This explor-
ation led to its settlement. (Drakes History of American Biography,
page 160.) In 1624, John Oldham and Lyford, the minister of New
Plymouth stirred up a faction there and were banished from that
Colony. They began a settlement at Xantasket. The same year
some belonging to Dorchester in England sent over fishermen and
History and Genealofjies 55!>
made necessary provision for a fishery at Cape Ann, and Rogers
Ccnant, who with the rest (SO in all) to Xantasket, was appointed
their overseer. A grant was made by one of the Georges, it is not
said which, to Oldham and others of part of Massachusetts Bay,
(five miles square) which occasioned some dispute with them and
the Massachusetts grantees. (History of Massa,chusetts by Thomas
Hutcherson Vol. I, page 15.) Rogers Conant while contemplating
a voyage to the New World, the company who promoted the plant-
ing of New P'lymouth were seriously divided. Such lack of harmony
had existed two years, and appears to have had its rise from a diff-
erence of opinion as to ministration of Civil and Ecclesiastical affairs
in the Colony, They all knew that the disciples of .John Robinson
who had come hither, brought with them the platform of Congre-
gationalism, animated by the inherent principles of liberty. This
so far prejudiced their minds that they thwarted the favorite purpose
of himself and people in London to unite with their friends at Ply-
mouth in the great mission of religion and philanthropy. In the
mean while, not ashamed to incur the odium of not being careful
of the spiritual wards of the Colonists they obtained another in his
stead. The person chosen was John Lyford, who had been a minis-
ter in Ireland. He came on a ship which arrived in March 1624.
At first he rendered himself agreeable to the emigrants and provided
for them. It was soon discovered that he and John Oldham were
carrying out the design of the dissatisfied members of the company
in England by plotting as Bradford states both against our church
and government, and endeavored to overthrow them.
The Governor made himself acquainted with the policy, but kept
it secret. When, to use his own language, Lyford and his few accom-
plices with factions part of the adventurers sent, adjudging their
party strong enough to rise up, oppose the government and church,
draw a company apart set up for themselves, and he could administer
the sacraments to them by his Episcopal calling. In reference to
this subject Hubbard remarks that individuals who came over with
Lyford affirmed that a principal why he and his supporters were
treated as enemies by Governor Bradford and his council was their
antipathy against the way of separation, wherein those at Plymouth
had been trained up under Mr. Robinson. The same author further
observes that some of them sorrowing do affirm upon their own
knowledge that ihe first occasion of the quarrel with ihem was the
baptizing of Mr. Helton's child, who was not joined to the church
at Plymouth.
This attepmt at Revolution was so much in accordance with the
design of the council for New England to crush out congregational-
ism in the plantation of Plymouth, and in every ether which might
be settled within their jurisdiction, the conviction forces itself on
our minds that the advocates in London co-operated with that res-
pectable body. The effort made by this clergyman and his followers,
was their exclusion from the Colony. Among those so rejected was
Roger Conant, who it appears came over in the same vessel with
Lyford. (X. E. H and G R. Volume 2.)
Conant took up his abode at Xantasket, at which he resided for
more than a year, unmolested, in the fine exercise of his religious
persuasion. The Dorchester Comi'any in the spring of 1624 receiv-
ed leave from the Plymouth Colony proprietor, a patentee of Cape
Ann, to settle emigrants on the latter station. In compliance with
the decision of their company John Humphrey their treasurer, not-
ified Conant that they had elected him Governor, and would commit
unto him the charge of all the affair.-, as well fishing, as i)lanting.
At the same time, John Oldham who had been banished from Ply-
mouth for zealous endeavors to carry out the i)lans of Lyford there,
5G0 Histori/ am] Genealogies
was invited to supei'intend the fur trade with the Indians, but he
declined — Conanr acceuted. He was accompanied by Lyford, who
was employed to preach for the colonists, was put under the author-
ity of his friend and parishoner. Though Lyford and Conant Vvere
so favorably situated still their former difficulty at Plymouth was
warmly agitated in England among the proprietors of the plantation.
One part of them in a numerous assembly for discussing the subject
employed John White a Lawyer of London, the other engaged the
Rev. Thomas Hooker. The conclusion was adverse to the case of
Lyford. still his advocates being two thirds of the adventurers for-
sook Governor Bradford, and his supporters with heavy responsibil
ities. (X. E. H and G. R. Volume 2, page 2 3 6.)
Hugh Peters and John Oldham: Hugh Peters returned to Lon-
don by May 11, 1629, when he attended a Court of assistants who
ypi-p convened to hear the proposition of Oldham in the charter
of the Massachusetts Company. As to the manner of its being
granted was suitable evidence of the royal party of England to over-
throw the liberties of Congregationalism in New Plymouth and crush
their budding everywhere they may appear. (X. E. H and G R. Vol.
5.)
Mary Oldham. Of those who came over in the Fortune Xov.
162 3, the first of those was William Bassett. His bans were pub-
lished first with Mary Butler on the 19th of March 1611, but she
died before the first publication. He soon found however another

Lecht, accompanied by Rodger and Edward Goddard: Mary Oldham,

The Freeman's Oath. Under the charter of Massachusetts
Colony, none were regarded as freemen or members of the bodj''
politic, except such as were admitted by the General Court and took
the Freeman's oath. This Court was continued in existence until
by the second charter the Colony was transformed into a province.
The names were orally stated then written down by the clerk,
hence the various ways of writing Oldham.
"I. A. B and C, being by the Almighty's most wise dispensation
became a member of this body consisting of the Governor, Deputy
Governor, assistants and commonality of the Colony of Massachu-
setts in New England, do freely and sincerely acknowledge that I

do accordingly submit my person and estate to be protected, ordered
and governed by the laws and constitution thereof, and do faith-
fully promise to be from time to time obedient and conformable
thereunto, and to the authority of said Governor and assistants

574 History and Genealogies
3. Son of Thomas, senior, went to Tyrone 1746, there was no
assessment for Nottingham before 1719.
Robert Oldham, senior, and his family were not friends. Thomas
senior, and his descendants all were Quarkers.
Mr. Ely says: "Hardly think Robert Oldham, was a brother to
Thomas, as he does not seem to be a Quaker, though he may have
married out and lost membership prior to settlement in Nottingham.
Do not think they descended from John Oldham, of Virginia 1635,
but from John Oldham, late of Cheshire, England, on whose estate
letters of administration were granted to Jonathan Oldham, at
Philadelphia Aug. 22, 1698." This John Oldham ought to be inves-
tigated thoroughly. He was old enough to have been the John Old-
ham, who is said to have come to Virginia from England in 1635."

MOSES OLDHAM.
(Named in Chapter 2, Section 3.)
Article 1. — ^Moses Oklham, a son of William Oldham of Prince Will-
iam County, Va., and Miss Basey his wife, was born in
Virginia, probably in Fauquier County, which was carved out
of Prince William embracing the old home of William Oldham
in the new County.
He served as a soldier in the Revolutionary army, and made
claim to the United States Congress for said service. He and several
of his brothers emigrated from Fauquier County, Va., prior to the
Revolutionary war, to Caswell County, North Carolina, where he was
married to Mary Rice, a sister to John Rice who died in Caswell
County about the year 1804 and devised property to the children of
his sister Mary, and her husband, Moses Oldham, his said sister
then being dead. Moses Oldham was then living in Montgomery
County, Tenn, and was living there as late as 1810, in which year,
he as the husband of Mary Rice, deceased, sister of John Rice, de-
ceased, and their children, executed a power of attorney to Solomon.
Debow, of record in the clerk's office of the Supreme Court of Cas-
well County, in which the names of the children are set forth towit:
Section 1. George Oldham.
Section 2. Jesse Oldham.
Section 3. Moses Oldham. His grand son, Joseph Alexander
McMurry, of Valley Mills, Texas, writes 'that "he thinks he came to
Texas from Rutherford County, Tenn., in 1839. He once lived in
Davidson County, Tenn., also at one time in Missouri. He married
first To whom two sons were born. He married for his
second wife Christiana Tarpley. She died about 1853, and was
buired on the old home place, where Moses Oldham settled in 1839,
three miles east of Caldwell, Burleson County, Texas. iMoses Old-
ham remained on this place with his negroes until 1860, his health
History and Genealogies 575
gave way, and his son-in-law Joseph McMurry, brought him
home, with liim where he died in 1861, (Miss Lillye Oldham of
Brymer, Texas, writes that "Moses Oldham died at Robinson,
McLennon County, Texas,") (His son Moses was buried in Robinson
Cemetery, six miles south of Waco,) and was buried on the old
home place, of Joseph McMurry, now owned by Joseph Alexander
McMurry, where his father settled in 1855, who says he often heard
his mother speak of Moses Oldham's brothers and especially of Con,
her uncle, a very wealthy bachelor, who sometimes would partake
too freely of mountain dew, which would make him feel very rich,
when he would scatter handfuls of money all around the streets to
everyone, which his friends would gather up and return to him when
he sobered. His grand son Edward M. Oldham, of Brymer, Texas,
remembered hearing his parents speak of their uncle Abraham
Branthy.
The father of the subject, Moses Oldham, whose name was also
Moses, came to the new country of Tennessee from North Carolina.
He and his sons and negroes went out a long way from the settle-
ments into the cane brakes and located, and begun clearing up a
farm — ^sowed a large patch in turnips — winter came on — provisions
gave out — excepting the turnips, and they were too far out to take
oxen and carts back to the settlement for the necessary provisions —
wild meat and turnips was their dependence until crops were made,
or until winter broke, and one was appointeu each day to hunt game
until a goodly supply was laid in. Moses seemer' to be the most
expert hunter, and when meat was scarce, he at one time went hunt-
ing for many successive days, when the snows were deep — several
days went by without any success — coming in at night with feet
frozen in his moccasins, he would roast turnips and poltice his feet
with them to draw out the frost, and make ready for the next days
hunt — the meat being entirely out — nothing but turnips to eat; so he
and his dog, a small flee, started out in the morning plodding through
the snow, not knowing whether he would find any meat that day or
not, but he had not gone more than a mile before his little dog ran to a
large fallen tree and began to bark, — a very large fat bear who had
made his bed on the opposite side of the log reached his head over
to see what the trouble was — the little dog caught him by the nose
and held his hold till Mr. Oldham put a rifle ball in his head, then
returned home, got the oxen and cart and hands, and went and
brought in his meat.
Moses Oldham the subject of this sketch, was with Jackson at
New Orleans in the battle with the British, and when his army horse
died, he had him buried, saying the buzzards should not pick that
horse's bones. He enlisted as a private in Captain Archibald Mc-
Kinney's company of Colonel Robert H. Dyke's regiment of Tenn-
essee volunteer cavalry, war of 1812. The muster roll of that
organization on which his name appears, has remarks showing that
he enlisted Sept. 24, 1813, honorably discharged Dec. 10, 1813,
served two months and twenty flve days, was allowed eight days
for travelling 120 miles from Fayetteville to Franklin Court House,
Williamson County after his discharge.
He re-enlisted Sept. 28, 1814, as a private in Captain Richard
Tate's company second (Williamsons) regiment, Tennessee mounted
volunteer gun men, in the same war, to serve to April 27, 1815, and
the roll on which his name appears shows that his service expired
May 2, 1815, (serving seven months and five days) ana that he was
allowed pay for traveling eighty miles from Nashville in Davidson
County place of residence to Fayetteville, Lincoln County, where
he was mustered into service.

ian. He raised an orphan girl named Dillye, who is now clerking
in the largest dry goods establishment in Valley Mills. Mr. Mc-
Miirry was born and raised at a time when kin and good friends
were appreciated. His parents reached Texas, when every man
and woman had to help the other, all had to stand hand in
hand for each others protection. He was born and largely
raised on the frontier — schools were scarce, and he received
only a limited education, he learned something of reading,
writing, arithmetic and spelling. He moved to Valley Mills,
Bosque County, Texas, several years ago, for two reasons, one
was, he was unable to do much work on the farm, the other was,
to educate his children. With a partner he engaged in mer-
chandizing— they were driven to the wall by hard times and big
credit, and he thinks unless the wheel of fortune makes a
phenominal turn in his favor, he will be a hopeless bankrupt the
balance of his days. We pray for the wheel to make the turn.

ZERAH ODDHAM.
(Named in Chapter 6, Section 2.)
Article 1. — Zerah Oldliam, a son of Richard Oldhain of Estill County,
Ky., and Ann Pepper his wife, was born Feb. 12, 1781, in Cas-
well County, Noi'th Carolina, and came Avith his parents to
Kentucky about 1795, when the subject was about sixteen years
of age.
He married Amelia F. Collins, about 1807, a daughter of Stephen
Collins and Catherine Mcintosh, his wife. Amelia was born Oct. 4,
1791. The 16th day of November 1815, Zerah Oldham qualified as
constable of Estill County, Ky., with Absalom Oldham and Alex-
ander Collins as sureties. August 11, 1834, he qualified as admin-
istrator of his father's estate. He owned lands in Clark County,
Ky., as early as 1821, and as late as 18 30. He was living in Mont-
gomery County, as early as 1836, and as late as 1839.
On the 26th day of March 1836, in said County he, as adminis-
trator executed a deed to Jesse Cobb (his brother-in-law.) Zerah
Oldham emigrated to Missouri, wihere he died about 1843-4, and
his wife died in the same state about 1874-5. The children born to
them were as named in the following sections, 1 to 10 inclusive:

History and Genealogies 581
4. William Edward Oldham.
A.t the date the will was probated, the three last named children
were minors, and Burrell S. Tipton was appointed by the Court,
their guardian.
Section 4. Stephen Collins Oldham, was born Nov. 3, 1815, in
Estill County, Ky., upon a farm near Red River, a tributary of the
Kentucky, and not far from a village called from a newly started
industry "Iron Works." On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 1839, about
three miles east of Independence, Missouri, at the home of his
bride's father, Samuel Shortridge, he was married to Susan Ann
Shortridge, who was born Jan. 6, 1823, on a farm in Bourbon
County, Ky., about eight miles from Mt. Sterling, and three from
North Midddleton. Amelia F. Collins, the mother of Stephen Collins
Oldham, was a daughter of Stephen Collins and his wife, Catherine
Mcintosh, as above stated and was born Oct. 4, 1791. Stephen
Collins was from Virginia — one of the fire side traditions of the
family was Catherine's story of how when a girl she helped to
mould bullets for the men who were fighting in defense of Boons-
borough, during its seige by the Indians. There was a large family
of Amelia's brothers and sisters, among whom were Joel Collins, of
Oxford, Ohio, Josiah Collins, a preacher, and Joseph Collins, both
of Madison County, Ky., and James Collins of Sangamore County,
Illinois.
Mr. Oldham lived on the farm, where he was born till about five
years of age, when the family moved to Clark County, Ky. Of the
Estill County home, few recollections are preserved, but among them
is one of the home in which they lived being blown down by a hurri-
cane, and of seeing the logs of the house, and the corn from the
crib scattered over the field. The house stood, about a half mile
from Red River. On the removal of the family to Clark County,
they settled about twelve miles from the town of Winchester and
eight or nine from Mt. Sterling, but aft^r a few years and when the
subject was about the age of ten, tihey moved across the line into
Montgomery County, on a farm about seven miles from Mt. Sterling,
which continued to be their home till they emigrated to Missouri
in 1839. The Montgomery County farm, was a tract of fertile land
'On the North Pork of Lulbegrud Creek, but broken and in places
rocky, some of it was finely timbered, including a maple forest frojn
which as a part of the winter labors of the farm they made the
sugar supply of the family. They raised chiefly corn, marketed by
fattening hogs, which used to be driven south in the fall to market
in South Carolina and Georgia. The house stood on a hill sloping
toward the north east, to a spring and was about a mile and a half
from the Creek. It was a comfortable two story building, with
two rooms and a gallery below, and two above. Here Mr. Oldham
gi^ew to manhood, in the ordinary life of a country boy of the period.
His first school teacher was in Clark County — one Joe Hornback,
and he attended two winter schools in Montgomery County. A
better opportunity was afterwards afforded him for a while when at
fifteen years of age he spent over a year with his uncle Joel Collins,
of Oxford, Ohio. Mr. Collins was secretary of Miami University at
that place — the alma mater of so many distinguished western men,
and though not prepared to enter the University, young Oldham had
here for a short time the advantage of a good school. He joined
the Christian Church at the age of twenty, being baptized by Elder
John Smith, a pioneer preacher distinguished for his eloquence
and ability, and whose memory has been lovingly preserved to our
times, under the homely nick name of "Raccoon John Smith." With
this church his wife afterwards in 'her twentieth year, united, and
582 History and Genealogies
the family life has been throughout the whole course one of modest,
but deep and trustful piety. To have led through every trial for
seventy years the life of a consistent and devoted christian is the
lot of few. In the fall of 183 6, Mr. Oldham then just of age, went
to Independence, Jackson County, Mo., where he remained and
worked about a year, and where he cast his first vote, which was
with the whig party. He then returned to his father's home in Ken-
tucky, and there remained till the fall of 18 39, when the entire
family removed to Missouri. They travelled of coure in wagons,
crossed into Ohio, and journeyed west across Indiana and Illinois.
In the latter state they overtook and joined one evening a party of
several families from an adjoining County of Kentucky, and bound
for the same destination, who had camped for the night in a wood
at the edge of a prairie. Among them were Samuel Shortridge and
family of Bourbon County, Ky. They were not previously acquainted
but being from adjoining Counties, knew each other by reputation,
like most Kentucky pioneer families living in the same part of the
state. In the family of Samuel Shortridge was a daughter, Susan
Ann Shortridge, then in her seventeenth year, and the journey across
the Western prairies together was only the beginning of a longer
one in' which as husband and wife, these two of the emigrgants
have since gone on together for sixty seven years. (Xmas Eve 1906).
The parties travelled in company across Illinois, separating in the
western part of the state. The Bourbon County party went by way
of St. Louis, while the Oldhams crossed the Mississippi at Alton.
West of the River they came together again, and finished the
journey in company to their destination. Independence, Jackson
County on the western border of Missouri. The trip they describe
as a delig'htful one, the weather was pleasant, the roads good, both
families were accompanied by their negro servants — for both were
slave owners — who relieved them of the hardest of the labors o^
the camp, and march, and the free gypsy life of the road was little
hardships to pioneers.
Susan Ann Shortridge Oldham, was born on a farm in Bourbon
County, Ky., about eight miles from Mt. Sterling and three from
Nor|;h Middleton. Her mother died when Susan Ann was about
four years old, and her father married a second wife, Mary Bryan,
daughter of Jonathan Bryan, living near Winchester, Clark County,
Kentucky.
Of her grand parents Susan Ann can give only the names of
her father's mother, Nancy Shortridge, and her mother's father
William Yates, of Montgomery County, Ky. Kindred are remem-
bered of the names of Shortridge, Hedges and Owens, whose relation-
ship cannot be definitely stated. Of the brothers of Samuel Short-
ridge— one John Shortridge, a widower lived with him, George
William and Charles, lived at some distance. Of his sisters, Susan
Harris, Nancy, wife of James Hedge.?, and Polly, wife of William
Butler, all lived near; Mrs. Hopper liv?d in Henry County, Ky., and
Betsy, wife of George Shortridge, a cousin, lived in Indiana. Jesse
Yates, a brother of Sarah Yates, lived near Mt. Sterling, was a man
in good circumstances, and had several sons.
Arriving at Independence, in November, Samuel Shortridge pur-
chased and settled on a farm about three miles east of that place,
and here on Christmas Eve, 1839, his daughter Susan or Ann, as
she was usually called, was married to Stephen Collins Oldham,
whose family had settled about a mile and a half west of the town.
The young couple, remained at the Shortridge home that season,
but the next fall set up house-keeping in a home of their own, about
a mile and a half south east of Independence. Two years were
spent in this first home, the following two upon a farm purchased
History and Genealogies 583
from Mr. Shortridge, between Mill Creek and Blue, near the present
Kansas City, which was then not even a village. . The place proved
malarious and unhealthful, and they bought and removed to another
about five miles south of Independence, in a rich prairie country,
but then called the "condemned land," because it was thought that
it could not be settled for lack of timber. They resided there six
or seven years. Trade was opening with the south west at this time,
and Independence was the starting point for wagon trains carrying
merchandise from New Mexico, over the old Indian haunted Santa
Fe trail. Mr. Oldham engaged in this business in connection with
his brother-in-law, Ben Thompson, and made the trip to Santa Fe
in 184 8, returning by the same route and being absent about four
months. Another trip was made by Mr. Thompson. Another re-
moval now took place, to a farm purchased in Cass County — the new
home was about three miles from the Kansas line — nine from
Harrisonville the County seat, and about a mile from a village called
Morristown, near the present town of Freeman. The farm was
a fine body of land of 160 acres, about 40 in timber, the rest prairie.
Their first house here was a log cabin — later they built a comfortable
frame house, and had an excellent orchard, and good improvements.
In 18.51, soon after moving here Mr. Oldham ventured again on
the toilsome and perilous, but fascinating business of the Santa Fe
trail. This time he was absent seven months, going to El Paso,
and returning on horse back through Texas, by way of San Antonio,
and Austin. For ten years peace and prosperity smiled upon the
Cass County homestead. But darker days were at hand. The storm
which in 1861, gathered over the country from sea to sea, hung no
where with blacker terrors than over the Missouri and Kansas
border. Mr. Oldham (like most of the Whig party) was attached
to the Union, but his feelings were not shared by the family.
Samuel, his eldest son was early in the ranks of the Southern
Army. Morristown the neighboring village, was occupied by the
forces to which he was attached and their pickets were posted in
the yard of the homestead. In October 1861, the position was at-
tacked by a Federal force, from Kansas under Jamison. The family
fled during the fight to Pleasant Hill, returning in a few days long
enough to gather up their household effects they turned their backs
on the home, which they were to occupy no more. Going to Jack-
. son County they rented the Brookin place about six or seven miles
south of Independence, a farm on which they raised the next year
a fine crop. On the first of October following, they were required
to move on a few days notice under what is known as the "Ewing
Order." This ruthless decree issued on August 25, 1863, by the
commander of the department in retaliation for the raid upon
Lawrence by Quantrill's guerrillas required the removal of every
family living within three miles of the border Counties of Missouri,
within fifteen days, from its issuance and converted this rich and
once prosperous country into a desert. A yoke of steers belonging
to their land-lord (their own had been carried off) was hitched
to an old abandoned wagon, into which Mr. Oldham had hastily
fitted a tongue — the only remaining horse "Big Shoulder," left to
them, because so worthless that no one would take him, was har-
nassed to an old buggy, and leaving everything they possessed, the
fugitives found refuge in Charitan County, sheltering themselves and
six children in an old tobacco barn on the Ellington place, three
miles from the village of Roanoke, and twelve from Glasgow. Here
they passed the winter.
In the spring they rented the Williams place in the samp neigh-
borhood. The next year they moved again, starting to go to Illinois,
but stopped in Marion County, Mo., near Palmyra, and about twelve
■58-i Ilisfori/ and Genealogies
miles from Hannibal. There upon a farm known as the Young place,
Mr. Oldham made a crop the last year of the war. In the fall of
18 65, they returned to Jackson County. Here on February 23,
1866, while stopping at the home of their sister, Mrs. Thompson,
the second son William, a youth in his eighteenth year was killed
by the accidental discharge of a pistol. They rented again this year
the Brookin place, and here rejoiced to welcome back their first-
born. Samuel returned in safety from the thousand perils of four
years service in Shelby's Confederate Cavalry, from which he
brought back nothing but a name among his comrades for steady
courage, in the face of every form of danger and indomitable cheer-
fulness under every extremity of hardship. The Cass County farm
Mr. Oldham had been compelled to sell during the war for the
little which it would bring in such troublous times.
With his family of young and helpless children he found him-
self stripped of everything, but courage and constancy. In the fall
of 1866, the reunited family sought a new home in the south west.
They moved in wagons through the Indian Territory to Fannin
County on the Northern border of Texas, where they lived for the
seven years following. An incident of the journey through the ter-
ritory, which threatened to make misfortune complete was the loss
from the wagon of the satchel containing the little hoard remain-
ing for the sale of their property. A vigorous pursuit and seach
succeeded in reclaiming it from the hands of a wayfarer who had
picked it up. Their homes were. Dr. Smith's farm on Red River,
one year, Bonham, one year, the Harris place, three miles east of
Bonham, one year, the Rowland place seven miles east of Bonham
and near the present town of Dodd City, three years, and the Beasley
place in the same neighborhood, one year.
The first venture in the new state had proved unfortunate. The
Smith farm was in the Red River bottom — unusual floods swept
away a larg part of the crop, and the malarial sickness incident to
such a season and locality was severely felt. But having reached
their worst, and left little prospect of becoming other than a tenant
farmer, matters begun to mend, somewhat, under the steady force
of economy and hard work. Railroads had not yet penetrated the
country, and the employment of wagoning to the nearest market,
the town of Jefferson in Eastern Texas, gave fairly profitable
returns in the intervals of farm labor. The school maintained at
Bonham by Rev. Charles Carlton an eminent and inspiring teacher,
to whom education in Texas is under obligations, gave opportunity
to the elder children to complete a fragmentary education obtained
under great difficulties. In the fall of 1873, Mr. and Mrs. Oldham
and their family now reduced to three daughters and two sons,
removed to Cook County, Texas, taking a small farm north of and
just out side the limits of the town of Gainesville, which belonged
to their son-in-law B. H. Crenshaw. This they occupied two years.
In the fall of 1875, they moved into the town of Gainesville. In
September 187 6, they moved to Sherman, Texas, which was then
the home of their daughters Mary and Ann. They had reached the
time of life when the incidents of a family history are no longer
the births and marriages which add to its number, but the sadder
chronicle which tells how, from love's shining circle the gems drop
away." Mr. Queen the son-in-law, had died on June 27, 1875,
their son James S. Crenshaw died at Sherman on Feb. 17, 187 8. It
was nearly twenty years before they were called to mourn another
break in the family circle, Samuel the oldest son, died at Bonham
Sept. 27, 1897.
In Sherman for the first time since the storm of the Civil War
had left them houseless fugitives, they found themselves in enjoy-
History and Genealogies 585
ment of their own home. Mr. Oldham purchased a residence on
Sout];i Travis street. Soon there were only himself and wife to claim
shelter, for the youngest son had left to begin the succesi^ful winning
of his way in the world, but the home was still a gathering place
for children and grand-children. None of these hov/cver had re-
mained in Sherman, and in 1887, they sold their ho""'', and built
a new one in the neighboring town of Denison, near to that of the
daughter Ann, who with her husband, had become resident of that
place. Here they dwelt for the following ten years. They were
of the sort that never lacked for good neighbors, and the familiar,
but loving title of Grand-pa, and Grand-ma Oldham was bestowed
by all who knew them.
In 1896, a "hazard of new fortune," called Mr. Wilkinson and
his wife to the State Capitol at Austin. The parents were strongly
urged to abandon house-keeping and make their home with them
and consented to do so. Here they have passed tranquilly the years
succeeding. On the third of Nov. 19 06, Mr. Oldham celebrated his
ninety first birth day. Much of the time during each year has been
spent in visits to their other children. Their life's work is done.
The recording angel need drop few tears over the page. It is an
honorable, a manly, and a womanly record, of which the children's
children's children whom they see about their knees, may justly
feel proud. Their lot has been toilsome and obscure. They have
known hardship and grief, but they have wronged no one, and have
helped many. They have eaten the bread of their own labor, and
have owed no man. They have hated none, and have loved and been
loved by many. Most of all, they have done their service in the
world as those who believed it to be a training for immortality and
they await in Christian faith the words, "Enter thou unto the joy
'Of thy Lord." In short it can be recalled, how often has been heard
the casual enquiry about this family coupled with the words "The
l)est people I ever knew." The children born to them were as
named in the following sub-sections 1 to 9 inclusive, viz:
1. Samuel Zerah Oldham, born about a mile and a half south
east of Independence, Mo., Dec. 24, 1840, the first wedding anni-
versary of his parents. He was early in the ranks of the Southern
Army, Shelby's forces, in the Civil War, as detailed in the fore-
going sketch of his father. While living at Bonham, Fannin
County, on the northern border of Texas, Feb. 7, 18 69, he was
married to Ellen Moore. He died at Bonham, Sept. 27, 1897,
His family still live at that place.
2. Sarah Oldham, born Aug. 3, 1843, on the farm between Mill
Creek and Blue, near the present Kansas City, which was then
not even a village.
3. Mary Amelia Oldham, born Nov. 4, 1845, on the farm about
five miles south of Independence, Mo., in a rich prairie country, but
then called the "condemned land," because it was thought it could
not be settled for lack of timber. While living at the Rowland
place in Fannin County, Texas, she married July 29, 1869, to E.
H. Crenshaw. They made their home in Sherman, Texas, where
Mr. Crenshaw died Feb. 17, 1878.
4. William Shortridge Oldham, born Dec. 22, 1848, on the
prairie farm five miles south of Independence. In his eighteenth
year, he was killed by the accidental discharge of a pistol, whilst
the family were stopping with his aunt Mrs. Thompson, in Jack-
son County, Mo.
5. Ann Maria Oldham, born in their log cabin home in Cass
County, Mo., about three miles from the Kansas line — nine from
Harrisonville, the County Seat, and about a mile from a village
called Morristown Aug. 18, 1852. At the home in Gainesville,
586 Ristory and Genealogies
Texas, Nov. 4, 1875, she was married to A. E. Wilkinson, a dis-
tinguished lawyer of Sherman, Texas. Afterwards they became
residents of Denison, Texas. In 1896, a "hazard of new fortune,"
called Mr. Wilkinson and his wife to the state capitol at Austin,
where they now live. Mr. Wilkinson was Judge of the Supreme
(State) Court, and is now Vice President of the Texas Bar
Association.
6. Eliza Catherine (Kate) Oldham, born in the Cass County,
(Mo.) home, Feb. 19, 1855. Whilst living on the E. H. Crenshaw
farm near Gainesville, Texas, March 31, 1874, she was married
to Joseph P. Queen, a young merchant of Gainesville. Mr. Queen
died June 27, 1875, and his widow on the 6th day of April 1880,
was married the second time to S. H. Noland, a merchant of Sher-
man, Texas. Their home is now in Dallas.
7. Medora Bell (Dora) Oldham, born in the Cass County (Mo.)
home Oct. 27, 1857. At the home in Gainesville, Texas, Sept. 20,
1876, she was married to Charles E. Edwards, of Gainesville.
They and their descendants remain residents of Gainesville.
8. James Simeon Oldham, born in the Cass County (Mo.) home,
Oct. 29, 1859, died at Bonham, Texas, Aug. 24, 1877.

CHAPTEE 41.
Oldham Family Tree.
By R. C. Ballard Thurston, May 1899.
I. John Oldham, came from England in March 163 5, and set-
tled in Virginia. I have learned very little of him or his sons, but
a correspondent thinks that a celebrated family of that name in
Maryland is descended from him. He is supposed to have settled
in what afterwards became Westmoreland County, Va., but only
from the fact that one of his grand-sons lived there. I have not.
History and Genealogies -587
learned the name of his wife, and know of only one son.
II. Vhomas Oldham, nothing is known of him, except that he
left a son:
III. Colonel Samuel Oldham, born 1680, died 1762; married
Elizabeth Newton, born 1687; died 1759. He h?d estate in West-
moreland County, where he is supposed to have lived and died,
leaving several children. His title, Colonel, is supposed to have been
derived from his rank in the County militia.
John Newton, the emigrant came from Virginia about 1650-60,
probably with a first wife and three sons, was in Westmoreland
County in 1672; married second time between 1673 and 1677, Rose
who was the widow of first John Tucker, and second Hon.
Thomas Gerrard, both of Westmoreland County. He was Master
and Mariner. His will was dated Aug. 19, 1695, probated July 1699,
in which he mentions a son John, and his four children (one of
whom was named William) a son Joseph and his three sons, and
a son Benjamin, and his daughter all by the first marriage, and by
the second marriage, son Gerrard, daughter Elizabeth (who married
Thomas Willoughby) and a son Thomas, all the second set were
apparently single in 1695. The Elizabeth Newton who married
Colonel Samuel Oldham, was most likely a daughter of either John
or Benjamin Nev/ton, by the first set, but this is a matter for
investigation.
In Bishop Meade's work "Old Churches," etc, of Va. Vol. 2
pages 151, etc. on Cople Parish, Westmoreland County, he speaks
of Welmington,, the family seat of the Newtons, and says: "In the
same grave yard is the tomb of Mrs. Elizabeth Oldham, wife of
Colonel Samuel Oldham, who died in 1759, in her 72nd year." I
know the name of only one son:
IIII. John Oldham, born in Westmoreland County in 1705, died
; married Ann Conway. The only Conway named Ann,
mentioned by Hayden in his Virginia Genealogies who could have
married John Oldham, was the oldest child of Edwin Conway,
third of Lancaster County, as he was born in 1681, and married
Ann Ball in 1704, and their child Anne, was probably born about
1705, but she married Robert Edmunds June 10, 1729. Hayden
asks "Did she marry second 1752, Thomas Chinn?"
The only dates I have for the births of the children of John Old-
ham and Ann Conway are 1736 and 1753, so I think it most likely
that she was the daughter of Edwin Conway third, and did not marry
Thomas Chinn in 1752. (Note: It will be noticed that William Old-
ham of Fauquier County, Va., who married Miss Basey, had a son
Conway, and the name "Conway" was continued for generations;
several of his grand-children and great grand-children were named
Conway.) They had eight children:
1. Conway Oldham, second Lieutenant 12th Virginia regiment
in Revolution Dec 1776, first Lieutenant April 2, 1777, transferred
to eighth Virginia Sept. 3, 1778, Captain in 1780, and killed at
Eutah Springs South Carolina Sept. 8, 1781, unmarried.
2. A daughter, who married Mr. Lawrence Ross of Fauquier
County, Va., and left two sons Presley and Neville Ross.
3. A daughter, who married Mr. Barton.
4. A daughter, who married Mr. Rector, and had two sons
Presley and Neville Rector.
5. Winifred Oldham, born 1736. died 1797; married Aug. 24,
1754, Colonel John Neville in Virginia. (See Sec.)
6. Samuel Oldham; died in 1825; married twice and settled
in Kentucky. (See Sec.)
7. Mary Ann Oldham; married Major Abraham Kirkpatrick.
See Section.)
588. Histonj and Genealogies
8. Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham, born 1745, according
to Miss Keys, but June 17, 1753, according Ms widows family
bile. Killed at St. Clair's defeat Nov. 4, 1791; married Miss
Penelope Pope of Louisville. (See Section.)
IIII 5. Winifred Oldham, according to the notes I have, was the
fifth child and born in 1736. This I think must be a mistake, she
was probably the first child, I am satisfied that the eighth child was
born 17 53, or rather the eighth child that lived, for there may have
been one or more, who died in infancy, this would make 17^ years
between Winifred andthe eighth child known.-
Again, if I am right in supposing that her mother was the Anne
Conway, (daughter of Edwin Conway, third) v/ho married Robert
Edmunds, in 1729, she must have married second John Oldham,
not later than 173 5. According to Miss Keys Winifred, was born
1736 ,died 1797, married at the age of 18 on Aug. 24, 1754, in
Virginia, General John Neville, of Pittsburg, Peuii., where both of
them are buried, in the old Presbyterian Church Yard. General
Neville was Colonel of the second or third Virginia Regimeni in
the Revolution and was brevetted General afte;- ihe war. Was
Marshall of the District of Pennsylvania during the whiskey insur-
rection, when his home was burned by a mob, led by a Breckinridge.
Miss Keys says, "I think there is a connection with the Neville.^
family further back than the marriage of Winifred Oldham and
General or rather Colonel Neville of Pittsburg.
Presley as a given name occurs in the Oldham family prior
to the time of marriage of Winifred and John Neville. Presley is
a Neville name, as Colonel John Neville, had a brother Presley,
also a grand-nephew Presley Neville Pepper, who was the grand-
father of Paul Cain, of Louisville, Ky. They had but two childi-en,
according to Miss Keys, who claims to have a comple:e record of
their descendants:
1. Presley Neville.
2. Amelia Neville; married Major Isaac Craig, of the Revolu-
tion.
IIII 6. Samuel Oldham, moved to Jefferson County, Va., (now
Kentucky) where the old minute book shows that he took his oath
of office as Magistrate Aug. 7, 1787, and appeared as security for
his brother, William Oldham, who had been appointed sheriff on
Sept. 3, 178 6. He married at Louisville, but such records do not
anti-date 1784. He left a will on record at Louisville, dated Sept.
4, 1820, a codical to which is dated Jan. 23, 1823, probated Feb.
10, 1823, and recorded in will book 2, page 214, in which he men-
tions his wife Ann, and all his children except John, the husband of
each of his daughters except 1 and 7, they probably being dead at
the time. He left his son, Conway trustee for several of his mar-
ried daughters and his son Henry in whom he seems to have had
but little confidence. He therefore died early in 1825. Samuel Old-
ham married first Jane Cunningham, and had one child:
1. Sarah Oldham, born 1772, died 1830, married William
Merriwether, Virginia History May, Oct. '97, Volume and 198.
The license was issued May 22, 17 88, but there was no return.
They were ancestors of Mr.s Udolpho Snead of Louisville, Ky.
Samuel Oldham; married second Ann Lipscomb, and had ten
children :
2. Nancy Oldham; married Thompson Taylor, license issued
Feb. 15, 1796, and return made Feb. 18, 1796.
3. Conway Oldham; married Frances Ross, license issue! Dec.
26, 1800, return made Jan. 1, 1801, by Henrj' Pottorff. He left
a will dated Nov. 25, 1825, a codicil to which was dated Nov.
8, (probably an error for 28) 1825, probated Dec. 8, 1825, and
History and Genealogies 589
recorded in will book 2, page 308, at Louisville, Ky. He mentions
his wife^ Frances, two of his children as married and the other as
single:
3-1. Nancy Oldham; married Frederick Herr, license issued
Feb. 3, 1821, return made Feb. 4, 1821, by .James Vance.
3-2. Sufan Oldliam; married John Herr, Jr., license issued and
return made by Ben Allen April 10, 1822.
3 (3-12) Samuel, Presley, Mary, Ann, Conway, Fiturah, Eliz-
abeth, Martha and William Levi Oldham, all single 1825.
4. William Oldham; married Elizabeth Field. The license was
issued for him and Betsy Field, daughter of Reuben Field May 1,
1806, and return made May 6, 1806, by James Vance. He left
a will dated Feb. 25, 1826, probated April 3, 1826, and recorded
in will book 2, page 319, at Louisville, Ky. He mentions having
inherited a farm from his father, Samuel Oldham, also his wife
Elizabeth, who "shall keep all my children that are not marriei
together," but does not mention their names. Among the marri-
age records I find the following whom I take to be his children:
■ 4-1. Elvise Oldham, (daughter of William Oldham) and Jeff-
erson Overstreet, license issued and return made by Richard
Corwin, March IS, 1825.
4-2. Moses Oldham, and Elizabeth C. McDaniel, daughter of
Elijah and Sarah McDaniel, license issued July 1, 1824, return
made July 4, 1824, by P. S. Fall.
5. Patsey Oldham; died single.
6. Henry Oldham; married Elizabeth and lived 20 miles
south of Louisville, Ky., on Salt River, no record of his marriage
here.
7. Winifred Oldham. On Nov. 2 2, 1809, a marriage license
was issued to Winny Oldham, daughter of Samuel Oldham and
Carver Mercer, the return was made Nov. 26, 1809, by Nathan
H. Hall.
8. Elizabeth Oldham; married Levi Tyler of Louisville, Ky. The
license was issued and marriage return made Oct. 4, 1810, by
Joseph Oglesby. They certainly had one son:
8-1. Henry Tyler; married Miss Rebecca Gwathney, and
had a large family. One of them was recently Mayor of Louis-
ville.
9. Mary Oldham. On Feb. 12, 1815, a license was issued for
Polly Oldham, daughter of Samuel Oldham, and Walter Powers,,
but no return was made, though she is mentioned in her father's
will, as the wife of Walter Powers.
10. John Oldham; died in infancy.
11. Amelia Oldham; married Charles L. Harrison, license was
issued May 15, 1817, and return made May 16, 1817, by D. C.
Banks. They certainly had three children, whom the writer has
known:
11-1. Kate Harrison; married William McDowell Bent, of
Louisville, but died without issue.
11-2. Amelia Harrison; married Thomas Speed of Louisville,
but now of Asheville, North Carolina.
11-3. Julia ? Harrison; married Harry Dumisdel, of
Louisville,
nil 7. Mary Ann Oldham; married Major Abraham Kirkpat-
rick of the Revolution and had two sons, and three daughters ac-
cording to my mother's notes, but only three daughters are men-
tioned by Miss Keys:
1. Mary Ann Kirkpatrick; married Dr. Joel Lewis.
2. Amelia Louisa Kirkpatrick; married Judge Shaler, of Pitts-
burg, Penn.
590 Histori/ and Genealogies
3. Elizabeth Kirkpatrick; married Christopher Cowan.
nil 8. Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham, was born 1745, ac-
cording to Miss Keys, his widow's family Bible, however, states he
was borrt. June 17, 1753, and is probably correct, for he was a
young man at the outbreak of the Revolution, serving as first Lieu-
tenant in Nelson's Independent Pennsylvania Rifle Company from
Jan. 30, 1776, to Jan. 1777. The Jefferson County, Va., (now Ky.)
Minute Book, contains the following references to him:
"April 6, 1784, William Oldham, was present at a meeting of
the Justices of the Peace, he being one of them.
"April 10, 1784. Ordered to take a list of the tithables at the
Falls of the Ohio, and other points.
"May 4, 1784. Present at a meeting of Justices of the Peace.
"July 6, 1784. Ordered to appraise the estate of George Meri-
weather.
"Nov. 3, 1784. Appointed Deputy Surveyor.
"August 12, 1785. Produced his commission as Justice of the
Peace, and of Oyer and Terminer.
"Sept. 6, 1785, appointed Deputy Surveyor.
"xVov. 2, 1786, recommended for Major.

Samuel Oldham as surety and took oath of office.
"Sept. 3, 1788, judgment of the Justices that the admission of
William Oldham to the office of sheriff was premature and his
bond was surrendered.
"Oct. 7, 1788. Produced commission as sheriff and took oath,
etc. He married on July 24, 1783, Miss Penelope Pope, born Feb.
12, 1769, died Sept. 16, 1821, (daughter of Colonel William Pope
and his wifee Penelope Edwards of Louisville.)
He was Lieutenant Colonel in command of the Kentucky militia
when he was killed at St. Clair's defeat on Nov. 4, 1791, and sent
home to his wife, his gold watch and chain, which he had on when
he fell mortally wounded. His will was dated Sent. 6. 1791, pro-
bated Dec. 6, 1791 and recorded in will book 1, page 29, at Louis-
ville, Ky., which I quote as follows: I leave to my wife, Penelope
the tract of land on Chenowith Run, and negro man Bosen, with
household furniture and one third part of all my stock forever.
Also during her widowhood, I leave to her Gilbert and Violet. The
residue of my estate both real and personal I bequeath with the two
negroes that I leave my wife Penelope, during her widowhood co
be equally divided between my four children John, Richard, Abigail,
and William Oldham, excepting a preemption of 400 acres near
Butler's Lick," etc. etc., appointed Richard G. Anderson, Richard
Taylor and Jacob Funk, Gents, executors, witnessed by George
Pearce. His widow afterwards married Henry Churchill, whose
youngest brother married her daughter, Abigail.
(Note: — Mr. Samuel Oldham of Zanesville, Ohio, in his letter,
recorded in this volume, states that Samuel Oldham, who died at
Louisville, Ky., in 1823, and his sister Winifred Oldham, the wife
of Colonel John Neville, were brother and sister to Isaac Oldham,
(his grand-father) and were not a brother and a sister to Lieuten-
ant Colonel William Oldham, who was killed at St. Clair's defeat,
November 4, 1791. He also states that Lieutenat Colonel William
Oldham, was a son of said Isaac Oldham, by his first marriage, but
it will be noticed that Isaac Oldham's will in which he makes
Ilistor)/ and Genealogies 591
"bequest to his son William, was not probated till 1821, thirty years
after the death of Lieutenant Colonel William Oldham.) (Writer.)
His children were:

the campaign in which he lost his life, but the child died young,
aged about four or five years.
IIII-8-1. Judge John Pope Oldham, born Feb. 28, 1785, left a
will on record at Louisville, Ky., will book 3, page 216, but I did
not examine it. He was for many years Judge of the Circuit Court
at Louisville, Ky., and one of the most prominent and highly respec-
ted citizen. His wife was Miss Malinda Talbott, daughter of Dr.
Talbot of Huntsville, Alabama. She lived to an extreme old age,
surviving her husband, and all her own children, leaving a will
recorded at Louisville, Ky., in will book 9, page 3 49, but I did not
exam'ine it. They had four children, but I do not know the order
in which they were born:
1. William Oldham; died without issue.
2. Talbot Oldham; died without issue.

On the Revolution of 1830, he declared for the new order of things,
but soon entered the association national, an organization of the
opposition, for which he was, for a while, discharged from active
service. In 1832, he was sent to Africa. Being entrusted in 1836
with the command of Tlemcan, he held this advanced fortified post
for three years against the assaults of the Arabs. In 1839, by reason
of impaired health he asked to be placed on leave, he was then a
Major. A few months later he returned to Africa, where his defense
of Cherchell was no less brilliant than that of Tlemcan. In 1840
he was promoted Colonel of the Zouaves, and in 1844, he was made
Brigadier General and Governor of the Province of Oran. On the
Revolution of February, 1848, he was appointed Governor General

regular troops were gathered within the walls, while 190,000 nation-
al guards were ready to support them against the threatened rising
of the working classes. Yet the insurrection broke out on the dis-
solution of the Atitier Xationaux. On June 22, barricades were
erected in the most central parts of the city. Cavaignac concen-
trated his troops in order finally to bear on the principal points
with irre.-islable force. The assembly having invested him with dic-
tatorial powers, the struggle commenced June 23, and was continued
with internieine fury for seventy hours, resulting in a complete
victory for the government. On June 29, Cavaignac resigned his
dictatorship, and he was unanimously elected chief of the executive
power. He declined several propositions to make him President for
four years without recourse to an election. The election for Pres-
ident took place Dec. 10, and out of 7,327,345 votes, Cavaignac
received but 1,448,107. After the Coupdetat of Dec. 1851, he was
arrested and sent to the castle of Ham, his name being placed at
the head of the list of the proscribed. Having been set at liberty
he lived for a time in retirement in Belgium, and when he returned
to France, resided mainly at his country seat in the department
of Sarthe. In 18 52, he was elected to the Legislative body, but re-
fused to take the oath of allegiance to the Emperor. ,In 18 57, he

suddenly expired in the arms of an attendant without uttering a

CPT AFTER 2.
THE KAVANAUGH FAMILY.
Article 1. — In the County of Cavan, or Kavan, Province of Ulster,
Ireland, was a Cliurch and school of the name Kilkaavan, at
which Daniel Kavanaugh was educated, and he was the first
to bear the sur-name "Kavanausli," the suffix "augh" meaning
"of." The name is spelled commencing with either the letter
"C" or letter "K," but most frequently ^^\t\\ the latter.
On November 5, 1688, King James II, of England upon the land-
ing at Torbay of William Prince of Orange with fifteen thousand
History and Gcncalogirs (iO;}
(15,000) men, and who had the supi)ort or sympathy of the greater
portion of the population of the Country fled to France where he
was received by Louis XIV, and provided with a large allowance
from the 'public treasury by the said Louis, and the palace of St.
Germain as a residence. In 16 89, he went to Ireland, where he
was royally received, and he made endeavors to regain the throne,
but the mental superiority of William Prince of Orange, with the
fleets of Holland and England at his command, thwarted James
Second's hopes, and he returned to France, and a portion of the
Kavanaugh family went with him to France, and one of the name
fled to Prussia. In the history of Napoleon is named a member of
the Prussian Court, Kavanaugh, who doubtless descended from the
Irish refugee to Pru.^sia. He seemed to have ideas and convictions
peculiarily his own, and was a conspicuous and noted personage of
said Court, who readily made known his position on any question,
or his objection to any measure, somewhat a family characteristic
to this day.
Louis Eugene Cavaignac (Kavanaugh) of France, a son of Jean
Baptiste Cavaignac, and who was prominent in the affairs of state
in the time of Louis Phillipe, was born in Paris, Oct. 15, 1802, the
same year that Bishop Hubbard Hinde Kavanaugh of Kentucky
was born. Jean Baptiste Cavaignac was one of the deputies of the
convention during the Revolution of 1793. No man of his times
was more distinguished than General Louis Eugene Cavaignac, who
died in 18.57. He was, no doubt a descendant from the Kavanaugh,
who went with King James II. from Ireland to France. When the
French Republic was established, he received nearly one and a half
million votes for the Presidency.
The family tradition is, that three brothers left Ireland together.
One of them sto])ped in England, and the other two came to America.
General Kavanaugh who commanded Queen Victoria's army in India,
had a like family tradition, his paternal ancestor having settled in
England, while two of that ancestor's brothers went to America.
The General belonged to the .same original stock (see Life and
Times of Kavanaugh', by Redford.)
The two brothers who came to America were Charles Kavanaugh
and Philemon Kavanaugh, who were sons of Philemon Kavanaugh,
and it is firmly believed that their father Philemon, also came.
Their immgiration was about 1705. The said Charles Kavanaugh
held the title to forty thousan dacres of land in what was then Essex
County, Va., the tract extended westward and above the Beverly
line up Muddy Run to Judge Field's mills across bv Poor Tov.'n to
Gibson's mills on Mountain Run, a portion of which he bequeathed
to his daughter Mildred and has never been out of the Yancey family,
and is this day owned by Benjamin M. Yancey, a great grand-sou of
Lewis Davis Yancey and his wife, the said Mildred Kavanaugh and
by their great, great grandson, James William Yancey, the latter's
place "Arling'or." .\nd unon this vast estate the two brothers Charles
and Philemon Kavanaugh settled in 1710,. This land was doubtless
a grant from the Crown of England. Although the title was vested
in the said Charles, his brother, Philemon had an equitable undi-
vided moiety thereof, at least he thought he had, reasoning from
the wording of a clause or item in his will made in 1764, namely:
"My will and desire is, that one "moyaty" of that land whereon
my brother, Charles Kavanaugh lives, be sold by mv executors,
and that my f-aid brother niake lav.-ful d^cd 'o the purchaser for
the same, and the other "moyaty." Remaining I give my right
thereof to my said brother, to him and his heirs forever."
Conclusive evidence that the testator, Philemon, considered that
he owned half of the land, and had a right to dispose of same.
1/
(i04 Ilisforji and Genealogies
and that his brother Charles was entitled to the other half, and that
he recognirpd the fa-i't that the title was in his brother Charles,
who was requested by the will to pass the title by deed to the pur-
chaser the half testator desired to be sold.
Orange County was cut out of Spotsylvania in 1734, and Spotsyl-
vania was carved out of E-ssex, and in 1748, Culpeper County out
of Orange, the Kavanaugh settlement and possessions being thereby
thrown into the County of Culpeper, which was named in honor of
Thomas Lord Culpeper, Governor of the Colonv of Virginia, 1680-
1683.
Not being sufficiently advised, the statement is not made positive
that Philemon Kavanaugh, senior, the father of the two brothers,
Charles and Philemon came to America, but the belief that he did
is based uron the facts disclosed bv the Court Records of Culpeper
County, extracts from which are hereinafter presented from said
records it appears that said Charles Kavanaugh, for years prior to
1750, was executor of the estate of Philemon Kavanaugh, deceased,
(his father) and the will was most probably probated in the Court
of one of the other Counties named, as formed prior to the forma-
tion of the County of Culpeper. An examination of the records of
the Courts of those several Counties would doubtless reveal the
truth of the mattter. Would Philemon Kavanaugh, senior, have
lived and died testate in Ireland, or some foreign land in his day
and time, when there were no railroads, no telegraphic and tele-
phonic communications, and when it took a month to cross the ocean,
and appointed a son residing in far away America, executor of his
estate? One would think not. He certainly was a resident of
America at the time of his demise, and perhaps, it was by the terms
of his will that the title to that large landed e&tate was vested ii)
his eldest son Charles.
For some reason or other, said Charles Kavanaugh did not hold
the position of executor, to the end, but prior to 1750, was sup-
planted as such, by the appointment by the Court, of Thomas
Slaughter and W. Green as administrators de-bonis non, of Philemon
Kavanaugh, senior, in his room and stead, which office they held
for a time, and in 1750, they made a settlement before commissioners
of the Court of their accounts, and were succeeded by James Pendle-
ton, who in 1759, made a settlement before commissioners, Robert
Green and Gabriel Jones of his accounts.
It seems that it was many years from the death of Philemon
Kavanaugh, senior, before his estate was finally settled. Said
Charles Kavanaugh had a wife, but who she was is in the dark, and
he raised if not more, one child, a daughter:
1. Mildred Kavanaug'h, who became the wife of Lewis Davis
Yancey. Mr. Yancey about the year 1710, settled in the part of
the Country that in 17 49 helped form the County of Culpeper,
and they had a daughter:
1. Elizabeth Yancey, to whom Philemon Kavanaugh, senior,
gave one hundred acres of land on Muddy Run.
In 1642 five Welchmen, John Yancey, Charles Yancey, William
Yancey, Joel Yancey and Robert Yancey, came to Virginia, with Sir
William Berkely, afterwards Governor, and settled in the James
Rjiver country. From one of these four last named emigrants
(Yancey) from Wales, sprang Lewis Davis Yancey, who settled as
aforesaid in C'llpeper County, Va., about 1710, or rather in what
was subsequently Culpeper County. He married Mildred Kavanaugh,
daughter of Charles Kavanaugh, of Irish parentage. Mr. Yancey
died and was buried on the estate, the portion now owned by his
rreat grand-son James William Yancey, known as "Arlington." The
children of the emigrant John Yancey were:

bated March 16, 1764, and in these words and figures:
"In the name of God, Amen. I, Philemon Kavanaugh, being
weak r.nd low, but of sound mind and memory, and calling to mind
the mortality of man, that all men must die, I do, therefore, consti-
tu^'" an:! appoint this my last will and testament, revoking all other

to bless me with, my desire is, that they may be disposed of in the
manner following, towit:
Imprimis: I render my soul to God, who gave it, and I desire
my body be decently buried in a Christian like manner, at the "dis-
cression" of my executors, hereinafter named.
Item — My will and desire is that one "moyety" of that land,
whereon my brother, Charles Kavanaugh, now lives, be sold by my ex-
ecutors, and that my said brother do make lawful deed to the purchas-
er, for the ?ame, and the other "moyety" remaining, I give my right
thereof to my said brother, to him and his heirs forever.
Item — I lend to my loving wife, Ann Kavanaugh, the land and
plantation whereon, I now live during her natural life, or widow-
hood, and at her deceease or day of marriage, I do give the said land
to my son Benjamin Kavanaugh, to him and his heirs forever.
Item — I lend all the residue of my estate, after paying all my-
just debts, to my said wife, Ann Kavanaugh, for during her natural
life, or widowhood and at her decease, or day of marriage, my will
and desire is that my said estate, with the money arising from the
sale of the above mentioned land, be equally divided amongst all
my children.
I do constitute and appoint my loving wife, Ann Kavanaugh an
executrix, and my loving friend, William Williams, executor of
this my last will and testament. Revoking and disannulling all
other will or wills, legacies or bequeaths whatsoever. In witness
whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and seal this sixth day of
February in the year of Our Lord, one thousand seven hundred
and sixty four. PHILEMON KAVANAUGH. (L S)
Signed, sealed and published in the presence of:
Charles Kavanaugh.
Charles Yancey.
Ann Kavanaugh.
At a Court held for the County of Culpeper on Friday the 16th
day of March 1764, this last will and testament of Philemon Kava-
naugh, deceased, was exhibited to the Court, by Ann Kavanaugh
and William Williams the executors therein named and was proved
by the oaths of Charles Yancey, and Charles Kavanaugh, witnesses
thereto, and ordered to be recorded. And on the motion of the said
executors, certificate is granted them for obtaining a probate thereof,
in due form, they having sworn to the same and given bond and
security according to law.
Teste: ROGER DIXON, Clerk.
A copy Teste, W. E. Coons, Clerk."
At the time the will was drawn, the testator's brother Charles
Kavanaugh, was living on the land named in the will, one moiety of
which testator directed to be sold, and for his brother to make deed
to the purchaser, and his right to the other moiety to go to his said
brother, and bp was evidently one of the witnesses to the will.
In 1764, the inventory of the personal estate of the testator
Philemon Kavanaugh, was returned to the Court amount 108L, 15 S.
The said Philemon Kavanaugh, who died in 1764, married Ann
Williams, a Welch woman, she qualified as an executrix of his will.
In 1756, eight years prior to the death of said Philemon Kavanaugh,
Ann Kavanaugh gave by deed to her daughter Sarah Kavanaugh,
then only fourteen years old, a negro girl named Venus, at that time
only eight years old. So far as learned the children of Philemon
Kavanaugh were:
Section 1. Charles Kavanaugh; married Ann They
emigrated and settled in Madison County, Ky., a more complete ac-
count of whom is given in Chapter 3.
(39)
610 History and Genealogies
Section 2. Benjamin Kavanaugh, to whom his father devised
the old home place, after the death or marriage of his widow.
Section 3. Williams Kavanaugh; married Mary Harrison. They
also emigrated and settled on the waters of Muddy Creek in Mad-
ison County, Ky., a more complete history of whom, is given in
Chapter 17.
Section 4. Philemon Kavanaugh, for whom James Pendleton
was guardian.
'Section 5. Anna Kavanaugh, James Pendleton of Culpeper
County, Va., was also, her guardian, perhaps she married Adam
Woods. (See Part II, Chap. 7, Sec. 5.)
Section 6. Mary Kavanaugh. The said James Pendleton was
her guardian too.
Section 7. Miss Kavanaugh, a daughter, whose given name was
probably Frances, married Mr. Covington, whose given name was
perhaps William, of whom more will be found inXhapter 18.
Section 8. Sarah Kavanaugh, for whom the said James Pendle-
ton was guardian a number of years, and afterwards, until her
maturity her father Philemon Kavanaugh, was appointed, qualified
and acted as her statutory guardian. She was born in 1742, and her
guardian made his final settlement in 1763.
Prior to 1752, the said Sarah, her brother, Philemon and her
sisters Anna and Mary, were minors, the said Sarah the youngest,
just ten years old, had received legacies from the estate of their
grand father Philemon Kavanaugh, deceased, through the executor,
their uncle Charles Kavanaugh, and James Pendleton of Culpeper
County was appointed their guardian and in 1752, filed his account
as such amount 66 L 4 S. He made a settlement of his accounts in
1753, the assets consisting of negroes, and other personal property.
The same year, another settlement amount 37 L 15 S 10% d, and
in 1754 amount 76 L 12 S 11 d, and between 1754 and 1758, it
seems that the wards, excepting Sarah, had arrived at the age of
maturity, and her father had been appointed and qualified as her
guardian in place of Mr. Pendleton, and in 1758, he showed in his
account as guardian, that he then had the negro girl Venus, at
that time ten years old, belonging to his ward, the said Sarah, which
girl was given her by her mother Ann Kavanaugh in 1756. In 1759,
said guardian showed to the Court, that he had the same girl 11 years
old, and in 1761, 13 years old, and in 1762, the guardian charged
one years board, £3 and clothing £3, and credited by hire of the said
girl, 11 years old £3, and in 1763, made his final settlement showing
that the negro girl was then 15 years old, his ward being then
twenty-one years old. Although further on in this work it appears
that Charles Duncan married Sarah Browning — it is however, prob-
able that he was twice married. It is evident that the subject Sarah
Kavanaugh married Charles Duncan the year she arrived at the
age of 21 years (17 63), and many years thereafter (about 1784),
moved to and settled in Madison County Ky., on the waters of
Muddy Creek where she died in 182 4, and was buried in the Duncan
Grave Yard, on the farm now owned by our County Clerk, Jesse T.
Cobb. The inscription on the tomb: "Sarah Duncan, born 1742,
died in 1824, in the S2nd year of her age." Showing that she was
21 years old in 17 63, the year of the final settlement of her guard-
ian, and the County Court records show that Robert Covington was
■her son-in-law.

CHAPTER 4.
• PHILEMON KAVANAUGH.
(Named in Chapter 3, Section 1.)
Article 1. — Philemon Kavanaugh, the elder son of Charles Kavan-
augh, Senior and Ann his wife, was. married in Virginia to Eliz-
abeth Woods.
They came to Madison County, Ky., prior to 1787, at least on
the 25th day of Sept. 1787, appears an order of the Madison County
Court (A p 62) granting to Archibald Woods and Thomas Shelton,
(borthers-in-law and the latter having married Elizabeth the widow i
letters of administration on the estate of Philemon Kavanaugh,
deceased, and John Miller, Hale Talbott, James French and Stephen
Hancock were appointed appraisers, and on the same date Archibald
Woods, and Thomas Shelton were appointed guardians to William
(Woods) Kavanaugh, and Ann Kavanaugh, orphans of Philemon
Kavanaugh, deceased.
Let it be noted here that Philemon Kavanaugh married Elizabeth
Woods, a sister to the said Archibald Woods, and Archibakl Woods
had married a sister to the said Thomas Shelton, and after Philemon
Kavanaugh's death, the said Thomas Shelton married Philemon
Kavanaugh's widow, the said Elizabeth. (See Part H, Chap.
7, Section 12.) Philemon Kavanaugh died at least nine or more
years prior to the date of the death of his father. His children
are set forth in the coming sections:
Section 1. William Woods Kavanaugh. The subject of Chap-
ter 5.
Section 2. Ann Kavanaugh. The subjejct of Chapter 6.
Article 2 — As beforesaid, after the death of Philemon Kavanaugh,
his widow Elizabeth Woods Kavanaugh, married Thomas Shelton who
was a pioneer Baptist preacher, and a brother to Mourning Shelton,
the wife of Archibald Woods. (See Part II, Chap. 6, Sec. 12), and
children of William Shelton and Lucy Harris his wife. (See Part
III, Chapter 3, Section 6.) The children of Thomas Shelton and
Elizabeth Woods Kavanaugh his wife:
Section 1. Susan Shelton; married Thomas Reid, July 29, 1806.
(See Part II, Chaptter 21, Section 1.)
Section 2. Betsy Shelton; married Richard Moberley March 3,
1802. They came from Albemarle County, Va., and married in
Madison County, Ky., where they settled and made their home on
Muddy Creek, near the present village of Elliston, and where they
lived and died
Note: Rev. Edgar Woods in his history of Albemarle mentions
the names of the children of William Shelton, whose first wife was
Lucy Harris, as follows, towit: "William Harris Shelton, Mourning,
the wife of Archibald Woods, Elizabeth the wife of Richard Moberley,
Dabney Shelton, Sarah Shelton, Lucy Shelton, the wife of Elliot
Brown, Agnes Shelton, Weatherston Shelton and Thomas Shelton."
and further states that "the first three migrated to Kentucky." If
Rev. Edgar Woods is correct, in his statement then Elizabeth or
Betsy, the wife of Richard Moberley, was not a daughter of Thomas
Shelton. Attention is called to the fact, confirmed by the Court
records that the marriage of Betsy Shelton and Richard Moberley
took place in Madison County, Ky., March 3, 1802, and not in
<^'l(t Hisiory and Genealogies

stantial evidence and published statements heretofore made, that

NICHOLAS KAVANAUGH.
(Named in Chapter 8, Section 8.)
Article 1. — Nicholas Kavanaugh, a son cf William Kavanaugh and
Haiuiah Woods his wife, wa.s born in >Iadison County, Ky.
On the 12th day of Jan. 1817, he married Jane Wallace, a
daughter of Michael Wallace and Jane Bratton his wife, (see Part

conveyed to William Kavanaugh the interest of his wife in the lands
634 History and Genealogies
of her deceased father, Michael Wallace, lying in or adjacent to the
town of Richmond, Ky. Their home was in Lone Jack, Jackson
County, Mo. When his father died in 1829, Nicholas Kavanaugh,
was dead, but how long he had been dead, no evidence is at hand,
he left a son, and a daughter, who were made special bequests by
their grand-father William Kavanaugh, in his will, but he failed to
set forth in the will the names of these two grand-chiMren. The
name of the son was probably:
Section 1. Malcolm Kavanaugh.
The son mentioned in William Kavanaugh's will, supposed.
Section 2. Miss Kavanaugh, a daughter mentioned in
Wililam Kavanaugh's will.
The Hannah Kavanaugh who married Benancy Cox, March 9,
18 33, was probably the daughter of Nicholas Kavanaugh.
We have been unable to gather any data concerning these two
children of Nicholas Kavanaugh and Jane Wallace his wife.
CHAPTER 13.

(■'Named in Chapter 3, Section 4.)
Article 1. — Charles Kavanaugh, Jr., a son of Chares Kavanaugh Sr.,
and Ann his wife, was born in Culpeper Coiuity, Va.
As early as or prior to 1787, being then a grown man, he came
from the place of his birth to Madison County, Ky. In the first
Order Book (A) of the Madison County Court, at the date Feb. 27,
1787, appears this entry:
"On motion of Charles Kavanaugh, Jr., it is ordered that his
ear mark towit: A crop in the right, and a hole in the left ear, be
recorded." October 6, 1789, he "produced his commission and
qualified as Captain of militia. Oct. 2, 1792, he was authorized to
celebrate the rites of matrimony being in regular coimmunion with
the Methodist Church. His wife was named Frances, for he joined
as one of the grantors in the deeds to the Yanceys of Culpeper
County, Va., as one of the legatees of his father's will in 1797, in
which deeds his wife's name appears to be Frances, and other deeds
show that her name was Frances, and he evidently married before
immigrating to Kentucky.
Jt seems from Court records, that this Charles Kavanaugh, Jr.,
his uncle Williams Kavanaugh, and his cousin Charles Kavanaug'h,
a son of said Williams went from Madison County, Ky., to Tennessee,
prior to 1804, for it is found of record that the two latter acknowl-
edged deeds as early as 1804, in Smith County, Tenn., to lands in
Madison County, Ky. If he had any children, they are unknown
to the writer at this time. Charles Kavanaugh, Jr., and Frances
his wife were residents of Rutherford County, Tenn., Sept. 15, 1815.

was a egatee of her father's will and she and her husband in 1797,
joined in the deeds to the Yancey's of Culpeper County, Va.

Ann Kavanaugh and her husband James Mills Moore, and two child-
ren which they had at the time her father prepared his will in 1795,
Charles Kavanaugh Moore and Elizabeth Moore were legatees of
his will. They owned at one time lands on Otter Creek, which
they sold in i797 and 1798. They had at least three children
named in the coming sections:

she evidently went to Green County, Ky., with her sister Elizabeth
Guthrie.

Charles, in his own right, and as guardian for three of his younger
brothers and sisters. It seems that his wife's name was Mary Shrites,
and that they moved to Clark County, Ky., the records of the Clark
County Court reveal the name Samuel G. B. Kavanaugh and his wife
Mary Shrites, and in 19 04, the names of the heirs of Samuel Kavan-
augh appear on the records of said Court as follows:

immigi-ant from Ireland and Ann AVilliams his wife, immigrated
from Wales, according to the history entitled "Life and Times

. . Bishop Hubbard Hinde Kavanaugh, was born in Virginia, and
came to Kentucky in 1775. He settled in Madison County, on the
waters of Muddy Creek, a little south of what is now the village of
History and Genealogies 637
Waco, where George H. Duncan who has Kavanaugh blood in his
veins now lives. He was born in 1744, old style. His wife was born

immigrant from England to New England, and who moved and
settled in Virginia, and Miss Johnson his wife, Mr. Harrison and two

In the Madison County Deed Book D, page 71, a deed dated
August 2, 17 9 6, from Williams Kavanaugh and Mary his wife to
Charles Kavanaugh, to SS acres of land on Muddy Creek is recorded,
and in the same book page 141, a deed from the same grantors to
Jesse Morrice to 50 acres of land on Muddy Creek, being part of
the tract on which the grantors then lived. On Jan. 13, 1802,
Williams Kavanaugh and Mary his wife had moved to Tennessee,
and were residents of Smith County, in said State. See deed to Josh-
ua Townsend, E. page 3 9 8.
The above subject was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, but from Bishop Kavanaugh's account left that society and
joined another society, and as the Bishop has given a lucid account
of him, it is unnecessary here to attempt to say more, except to name
such of his children as we are able: (See Chap. 1, Item 5.) Among
his children were:
Section 1. Rev. Charles Kavanaugh came from Culpeper
County Va., to what was afterwards Madison County, Ky., and on
March 5, 179 5, was authorized by the County Court to solemnize the
rites of marriage, and his uncle Charles and cousin Charles Jr., had
been granted similar licenses. He was in Smith County, Tennessee,
May 30, 1804, (see deed to Joseph Proctor, E page 725,) and
Wiiliams Kavanaugh, Sr., resided at that time in the same Couny.

history, was born near the dividing line between Virginia and Tenn-
essee, August 3, 1775, whilst his parents were moving to the District

son, Robert, and about 1797, one Frances Covington (no doubt his
widow) owned land on Muddy Run, adjoining William Covington,
deceased, and others. The children of William Covington, who died
in 1783-4:
1. Eleanor Covington; married Robert Hensley.
2. Guzzel Covington; married Cooper.
3. Elizabeth Covington.
4. Robert Covington.
It is more than probable that the given name of the Miss Kav-
History and Genealogies 641
■anaugh, at the head of this chapter was Frances and that her hus-
band was William and that the Robert Covington, below named, who
marrierf Mary Duncan was their son, the same as the Robert Cov-
ington, folowing the figure 4 above.
The mother of the Robert Covington who married Mary Duncan,
Is known to have been a Miss Kavanaugh of Culpeper County, Va.,
and Doctor Slaughter's notes on Culpeper give the name of only
one Robert Covington, towit: Robert, a son of the William Cov-
ington, who died in 1783-4, as above shown.
1. Robert Covington, evidently a son of William Covington and
Miss ? Frances Kavanaugh his wfe; married Mary Duncan, a
daughter of Charles Duncan and Sarah Browning (or Sarah
Kavanaugh) his wife.
Robert Covington was born in Culpper County, Va., Jan. 3,
1760, and died in Madison County, Ky., Aug. 10, 1847, and his
said wife was born in Culpeper Nov. 10, 1764, and died in
Miadison County, Ky., March 8, 1841, and their remains were
buried in the Duncan Grave Yard, on Muddy Creek, the farm
now owned by Jesse T. Cobb. Their marriage occurred in Cul-
peper County in 1782.
The records of the Madison County Court show that Robert
Covington was a soldier in the Revolutionary Army, and held a
pension sertificate which is there recorded, and that he drew a
pension for said service. After the war they moved from Cul-
peper County, Va., and settled on Muddy Creek, about two miles
south of what is now the village of Elliston, in Madison County,
Kentucky in 1792, where he acquired land and owned lands, and
where they both died at the dates aforesaid. Their children were:

John Browning, born in England in 1594, came to Vriginia in

in 1629.
William Browning, came to Virginia in 1623, in ship "Bona Nova."
(See Hatter's list of American emigrants.)
It is supposed that the Virginia Brownings descended from one
or both of the above named, but the line of descent cannot be direct-
ly traced.
The Brownings appeared in Virginia soon after the settlement of
the Colony.
Francis B)rowning settled near Gain's Cross Roads, now Rappa-
hannock, in 173 5. He came probably from Caroline County, about

Excerpt from History, by the late William Q. Covington, of
Madison County, Ky:
"Robert Covington, was born in Culpeper County, Va., July 3,
1760. His mother was a Kavanaugh, related to Bishop Kavanaugh,
recently deceased. He married Mary Duncan in Culpeper County,
Va., who was born November 10, 1764. They came to Madison
County, and settled near Richmond, where they remained but a short
time, then bought and moved to what is known as "the old Robert
Covington farm," three miles south of Waco, part of which was then
heavy cane brake, and there were Indians in the County. On that
farm they spent most of their lives.
Robert Covington was in the war of the Revolution. The old
Church Register of Viney Fork shows that Robert Covington and
Mary Covington his wife, joined the United Baptist Church at
Viney Fork second Saturday in September 1798, and Robert Cov-
ington was dismissed by letter second Saturday in December 1826.
He then took membership at Bethel on the Big Hill pike, Mary his
wife, was dismissed by letter June 2nd, Saturday 1828. Robert Cov-
ington died August 10, 1847, aged 87 years, 7 months and 7 days.
Mary his wife, died March 8, 1841, aged 76 years, 3 months and 28
days. They were buried on the William Duncan old farm 1% miles
south of Elliston (now owned by Jesse T. Cobb,) tomb rocks to
memory.
The Moberlej Family.
At an early day, three brothers, John Moberley, Benjamin
Moberley and Edward Moberley, came from South Carolina and
settled in Madison County, Ky.
John iMoberley, the oldest, built the old stone house one mile
east of Speedwell; he married Miss Jenkins, raised twelve children
and lived to see all of them married. He and his wife were buried

on a hill west of and near Crooksville. Their children:
1. Benjamin Moberley; married Susannah Anderson Reid. (See

"True merit and honest worth are recognized in our country,
without much regard to ones blood, notwithstanding it has been said
"blood will tell." Many of noble parentage have fallen into disre-
History and Genealogies 651
pute, while others of ignoble birth have risen to eminence and dis-
tinction. It is on this account, perhaps, the people of the United
States* have neglected to keep record of their lineage, or ancestry,
more than two or three generations, hence few are able to tell who
their great grand-parents were, or more than that at most.
But on entering into conversation with the old, who we find knew
something of our forefathers, we find ourselves much interested,
and sometimes feel humiliated that we know so little of our ances-
try. For this reason I have made an effort to gather some infor-
mation concerning the ancestry of my father and mother, and their
descendants. Many family and other records have been over hauled,
and yet, the information is very limited and imperfect: but I
present what I have been able to gather, in the hope that it may
prove of some interest to the present and more to the rising gen-
erations. ** If this information herein given appears partial in
some instances, I hav^e only to say, I have given such facts as I
could get."

CHAPTER 3.
THE BROWN FAMILY.
Article 1. — The Brown family herein are of English origin, Anglo-
Saxon, The original head of the American branch, Benjamin
Brown, in the early part of the eighteenth century came from
Wales, and settled temporarily in Hanover County, Va., subse-
quently he moved to Albemarle County, Va., and settled in
Brown's Cove, the place where he made his permanent home,
called Walnut Level or Trinidad, which is now owned by liis
descendants, the Auburn family.
Rev. Edgar Woods in his history of Albemarle states "that the
Browns of Brown's Cove, were a Hanover family. Its head Benja-
min and his oldest son Benjamin, patented a large area of land in
Louisa County, both before and after its establishment in 1742, They
began to obtain grants in Albemarle, also, soon after its formation.
From 1747 to 1760, they entered more than six thousand acres on
both sides of Doyles River. ** Benjamin died in 1762, leaving eleven
children: Benjamin,, William, Agnes, Barzellia, Benajah, Bernard,
Bernis, Bezaeel, Brightberry, Elizabeth, the wife of John Price and
Lucretia, the wife of Robert Harris. /- '
Benjamin Brown was a clergyman in the Revolutionary Army, a
member of Light Horse Harry Lee's troop. Two of his brothers,
Brightberry and Bezalul Brown, were captains in the same service,
and another brother Bernard Brown was also, a soldier of that
army, whose principal duty was to carry dispatches for General Wash-
ington from New York to Charleston, South Carolina, and was
chosen for that service because of his wonderful powers of endurance
and his trust worthiness, and of whom (it is told) General Washing-
ton said, "he could make his trips quicker than any other man, in
the service he had tried."
The Brown family ranks among the first families of Virginia and
have ever held that position since Virginia has been their home.
From their early settlement, their prominent part in public affairs,
the high character generally prevalent among them, and the lasting
impress they have made on the natural scenery of the country is one
of the most noted in its history. (Rev. Edgar Woods.)
Benjamin Brown, died at his home, Trinidad in Brown's Cove,
in 1762. His first wife was a Miss Hesoott, a Welch lady, no children
were born of this union. " He married the second tinie Miss Sarah
Thompson, born in 1724, she died in 1815, at the age of ninety one
years. Their children were:

3. Robert Clifton Rodes; died single.
4. Charles Thompson Smith, an old bachelor, a very lively,
active proposition, in that class of social outlaws, now sixty nine
years old, and living at Harlan, Ky. Charles Thompson Smith was
twenty-three years old when he volunteered in the First
Greenbriar Cavalry Company under Captain Robert B. Moorman,
in the spring of 1861, being a slender youth, run down from
close study, in health and flesh, and weighing only one hundred
and twenty pounds, and was found, in consequence, unfit for
infantry service, and was furloughed to go home to arrange his
business affairs, and to get horse and other equipments.
Rejoining the army he was one of a i)orlion of his com-
pany sent hastily to Rich Mountain to aid in the relief of Colonel
Pegram, then engaged with the Federal or United States Military
forces, but before reaching their destination the Confederates
had been defeated. On the excursion when his horse was jump-
ing a fence. Smith was thrown violently out of the saddle, receiv-
ing a twisting violent wrench of the left loin, severely straining
it and displacing a muscle of the back; an injury from which he
has never thoroughly recovered. Fpon examination by Dr. W.
L. Barksdale, of Hinton, West Virginia, at that time Surgeon of
the company, the hurt was pronounced a permanent one, and h^
was furloughed indefinitely, and advised to remain as quiet as
possible. In the early fall of 1861, young Smith started back
to the army, but before reaching it. General Robert E. Lee had
disbanded the company, giving as his reason, that "It contained
too much valuable recruiting material to be kept in the service
as a company." This wise step resulted in the raising of several
cavalry and other companies from Greenbriar County for the
Confederate Army.
First Lieutenant, F. W. M. Feamster, gave testimony of the
faithful picket duty, rendered by ihis young soldier, at Laurel
Hill. He says "I was ordered to select reliable men, and during
the night I visited the pickets every four hours, I always found
Smith at his post, which was regarded as a very critical and dan-
gerous position."
After the injury spoken of Charles Thompson Smith re-entered
the Confederate service, as employee of Cai)tain .1. C. Deane,
Quarter Master of the 59th Regiment of Virginia Infantry. In
1862 at Nags Head, he was )iromoted by General Wise to the rank
of Captain, on his staff, and in charge as acting Quarter Master
of the Regiment. During the land battle at Roanoke Island,
notwithstanding he was a non-combatant, he took th<> rifle gun
of i)rivate .lohn Hanna, who was ill, and founght under Captain
F. M. Imboden, in the thickest of the fight, reloading and shooting
so often that the gun got so hot (thus contracting the bore) that
it could not be recharged. After the surrender General Reno, U.
S. A., remarked that " Smith was the first Quarter Master he ever
saw in a fight." At this critical point in the battle .•\djutant
Blocker, owing to the effect of heavy canonading. became too sick
for duty, and Lieutenant Frank .Anderson of said Regiment order-
ed Smith to act as Adjutant in Lieutenant Blocker's place until
the battle ended. For six hours the battle raged and in spite of
ihe fearless displav of gallantry by the officers, and personal
(43)
674 History and Genealogies
bravery of the private soldiers, it ended in Confederate defeat,
because of the overwhelming numbers against them. During this
engagement Smith was struck by a spent ball which did no damage
and in no other of five fights and skirmishes in which he en-
gaged, did he receive a gun shot wound during the war.
Being paroled as a prisoner of war, Charles Thompson Smith
engaged in the manufacture of salt at Saltville, Va., from 1862
until 1865. Released from parole in the fall of 18 63, he rendered
valuable service to the Confederates as a soldier in protecting this
most important salt furnishing point to the Confederacy, and to
the people of the state. On one most dangerous mission riding
thirty miles in the night in extremely cold and stormy weather,
and through the enemy's lines as courier to take a special message
from General Breckinridge for reenforcements to save the salt
works from capture. He was shot at many times and barely es-
caped death and capture by General Stoneman's forces. In res-
ponse to that message, the same night, with Smith as guide.
General Bazil W. Duke was sent to the rescue, in command of a
selected cavalry force, which stampeded the enemy back into
Kentucky, thus saving the great salt works from destruction.
After the war with depleted health and fortune, but with true
Southern courage, Smith applied himself to the affairs of civil
life. His fidelity, business aptitude and tact were displayed to
the public, first in the office of sheriff, which he twice held under
bond of $90,000. His legislative talent and qualifications were
manifested during one term in the House of Delegates and three
terms in the Senate successively, in which service he signally
demonstrated his natural ability and enviable sagacity in recog-
nizing and grasping the new and living issues of the times, which
required the exercise of fine statesmanship, to shape them into
laws. The Legislative Journals and statutes of Virginia show that
his name as a skillful legislator and valuable public servant is
united indelibly with the history of the commonwealth as the
author of more legislation perhaps since the war, than any other
faithful legislator, and mainly of legislation which affects and
protects all classes and vocations, of men and women. His Post
Office address at this time is Harlan, Ky.
5. Frances Rodes Smith; died single, aged thirty five years.
6. John Massie Smith, born August 29, 1843; married May 21,
1867, Nellie Timberlake.
The three brothers, Charles Thompson Smith, Francis Rodes
Smith and John Massie Smith, went out of college into the Confed-
erate Army. Hence their educations were not completed as far as
was intended, the Civil War having practically ruined them finan-
cially. But John as he is called in the family is what the people
of his native and adopted counties esteem as a leading citizen,
intelligent gentleman, and consistent member of the Baptist Church.
John Massie Smith was only in the seventeenth year of his age
when he entered the Confederate Army. This brave young patriot
was on repeated occasions selected by his Colonel and other officers
to perform daring and desperate duties, and therefore was recom-
mended for promotion, but he modestly declined, mainly because
of his youthful age, saying that he was "satisfied with the honor of
being a private in the ranks of his company," and as such surren-
dered, having fought in thirty battles. He is at this time a leading
citizen of Albemarle County, Va. He is well beloved for his many
fine traits of character. He lives at Shadwell, three miles east of
Charlottesville, in Albemarle County, on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railwav. He is very found of his kin. His wife died many years

"The Crawford Family of Virginia."
From the Times despatch, Genological column:
"Arthur in his dictionary of names speaks of the name of Craw-
ford as assumed by the proprietor of the land and barony of Craw-
ford in Lenarkshire, Scotland. The extreme ancestor of the ancient
family of Crawford, in Scotland, was Reginald, youngest son of
Ataw, the fourth earl of Richmond. He accompanied David, the first
to the North and received extensive grants of land in Strath Clueys
at Clydesdale, where his immediate descendants adoi)ted the name of
Crawford. The name itself was first spelled "Craufurd," being
Gaeltic, signifying "the pass of blood" from "Cru," bloody, and
"furd" a pass, or way, as commemorative, probably of some great
conflict with the aboriginees.
John Crawford of Scotland, born about 1600, died about 1676,
emigrated to Virginia about 1643. He was a lineal discendant from
Quintin Craufurd, of Kilburney, on the West Sea of Scotland.
David Crawford, the only son of John, was born 1625, and came
to America with his father, settling in St. Peter's (afterwards St.
Paul's) parish in New Kent. John Crawford the emigrant, was
the youngest son of Earl Crawford of Scotland, about the middle of
the seventeenth century. He settled first in James City County,
afterwards moving to New Kent, and later being in Hanover Couny,
when that was formed. The wife of David Crawford (1) is not
known. Their children were: 1st. Eliabeth, born 1650, married

Guire, and removed south, 3rd, Captain David Crawford (II) born
166 2, died Sept. 17 62, 100 years of age. He married Eliabeth Smith
who died at 101 years. These are the great, great grand-parents of
Robert H. Smith, William H. Smith, Bettie Massie (Smith) Rodes,
C. T. Smith, Frances Rodes Smith, John Massie Smith and James
Clifton Harris, Lizzie Harris and Mary Alice Harris, children of
Jacintha Tazewell Rodes, by her first marriage to Captain John
Massie Smith, and her second marriage to Captain James M. Harris

over County. In 1758, some two or three years after his son David
(III) had moved to Amherst, he moved and settled on Rockfish
river on the south side near the road, passing o^er "Duke's Gap."
and near the foot of "Round Top" Mountain, about one mile north
of "Stony Battle," being a remarkable part of the road, where vast
walls of rock are rolled up each side of the road like giant walls.
As Captain of a troop of cavalry in 1714 he proclaimed George
(1) King.
Captain David Crawford was buried in the forks of Stony Battle
road, about one hundred yards west of the spring in Nelson County,
east of the "Three Ridge" Mountain at the base, being one mile west
of the house owned by Ryland Rodes.

century, and is supposed to have been killed during Bacon's war with
the Indians. Rev. William Crawford was the grand father, and
his son Hon. Robert Leighton Crawford, the father of Mrs. F. A.

^'" The Hon. William Harris Crawford, only child of Hon. .loel
^Crawford and his wife Fannie Harris Crawford (see Part
III, Chapter 3, Section 11), was born in Xelson County,
Va., Feb. 24, 1772, and was taken to South Carolina in 1774.
In 1783 the family again removed to Columbia County, Ga., where
his father died five years later. He was elected to the State Senate
in 1802. In 1807 he was elected to the United States Senate.
During this canvass he fought a duel with Peter L,. Van Alen, a
lawyer, and his antagonist fell mortally wounded. He also fought
another duel with George Clarke, and was himself severely wound-
ed. He was re-elected to the United States Senate in ISll. When
Vice President Clinton was disabled by sickness, Mr. Crawford was
chosen President of the Senate protem. In 1813 President Mad-
ison offered him the ap]:ointment of Secretary of War, which he
declined. He accepted however, the post of Minister to France,
where he remained two years. In 1815, he asked a recall, and
while still on his voyage was appointed Secretary of War. In 1816
he was ai)pointed to the Treasury Department, and remained in that
office during President Monroe's administration until 182 5, when
he was honored the same ijosition in John Q. Adam's cabinet, biv
declined it. Mr. Crawford returned to his home at the end of
Monroe's term in 1825, and in 1827 was made Judge of the Xorthera
Circuit of Georgia, which he held up to his death, which occurred
in Elbert County, Ga., Sept. 10, 1834, aged 62 years.

Section 7. Nancy Frances Thompson; married William T. Par-
rott, of Albemarle County, Va. Their children:
1. Eliazbeth Parrott; died in infancy.
2. Charles Parrott; died young.
3. C. B. (Boots) Parrott, killed in the battle of Hatcher's
Run, March 3, 1865. He belonged to Pickett's Division of the
Confederate Army.
4. William N. Parrott, was a non commissioned officer in
Pickett's division of the Confederate Army, but of a different
regiment and brigade from his brother, C. B. Parrott, who
fell at Hatcher's Run. However, William N. Parrott was en-
gaged and wounded in the same battle. He was wounded also
in Picketts celebrated charge at Gettysburg. He was of Kempers
old brigade, composed of the 1st, 7th, 11th. 17th, and 24th,
Virginia, and was in the second battle of Mana.^sas. Kemper was
Jlistnri/ (tiul (rcnrdlof/lcs (iSl
then in command of three brigades, acting as Major General.
Colonel D. M. Corse, being the ranking Colonel, placed him in
immediate command of the Kemper Brigade, who made at a crit-
ical raoment one of the most brilliant movements ever witnessed
on a battle field, when Kemper's old Brigade, with Colonel
Skinner, on old Fox, his sorrel horse, in the lead wielding his
sword with deadly effect, and William N. Parrort hard by, took
a five gun battery and four regimental flags.
Mr. Parrott seems to bear a charmed life, being survivor of
many hair-breadth escapes, which would be enough to kill an
ordinary man. If the Confederate soldiers had all been as hard
to kill as he, Pre.sident Davis would never have gone to Fortress
Munroe. This veteran, like Achilles, must be only vulnerable in
the heel, as that is about the only part of his body which has
escaped injury. He began at the early age of six years to court
death by getting himself, unwittingly in the way of a large tree
that was being felled — the whole top of the tree falling over him,
pinning his body to the ground, and costing him about a pound
of flesh and skin. On twelve different occasions his life seemed
to hang by a thread, and some of his experiences were thrilling
in the extreme, his injuries including broken arms, broken collar
bone, broken ribs, broken legs, dislocated hips, and bruises and
strains innumerable. On three occasions he was caught under
falling timber. Once thrown from a horse, rebreaking a leg, and
climbing upon his horse, rode in that condition a distance of
fifteen miles to his home. He was once thrown from a v/agon,
and reeled around the wheel. He was in eighteen regular
battles — including Picketts gallant charge at Gettysburg, besides
numerous skirmishes, of the Civil War. He was in the very hot-
bed of the war, and was shot twice by a cannon and twice by a
musket, and was in the wreck of the Fat Nancy in 1S88, between
Washington and Charlotte, North Carolina, when the train went
through a trestle sixty feet high, mashing the car into kindling
wood, sustaining at that time the most critical injuries — one leg
was broken in three places, the other leg hurt, still worse in
the hip, two ribs broken, both elbows nearly broken, and his whole
bodv fearfully mashed, and bruised, still he survived. How he
has retained his hold upon life, is one of the miracles of God's
providence. He calls himself a stack of patched up bones — really
he looks now, at an advanced age, as though he might stand
several more knocks..

The Thompsons and Parrotts can battle long.

They all awake at the call of the drums.
The blood of the Browns to the rescue comes.

A piece of cotton fabric, now (1906) one hundred and fifteen
years old, presented by W. N. Parrott to his cousin, Mrs. Kate O.
Miller made of cotton grown bv William Thompson (great, grand-
father of Willam Parrott) on his nlantation in .Albemarle County,
and which his daughter Elizabeth Thompson, carded, spun and wove,
into muslin, of such -a delicate texture, that uiion the completion
of the whole piece of twelve yards, it was passed through an ordi-
G84 Ifishiri/ (1)1(1 (j( iu'dhxjlos
nary finger ring; she made the muslin (from which the piece was
cut) into a dress gown which she wore on the occasion of her
marriage to Captain James Early of Green County. The goods
being as fine and soft and delicate as the product of the latest
equipped mills, of the present day. The degree of skill exercisd
in the weaving of same, was simply wonderful, and shows that the
ladies of one hundred years ago, were as prettily gowned, as the
belles of today. By an accident a hole was burned in the gown, and
a darn which was put in it at the time is so perfectly done that today
it is extremely difficult to detect the original from the substituted
threads. The dress is in possession of Mrs. John R. Early of Earlys-
ville. The Early House, has been in the possession of the family
for one hundred and thirty years — the fifth generation now occupy-
ing it. It was built by Mr. Early's great, great, grand-father, Mr.
Richard Durrett.
A sample of another piece of ancient cotton clo\h stamped and
called calico, was presented by Mr. Parrott to Mrs. Margaret 0.
Doty, which is a quaint relic of a fabric woven one hundred yenrs
ago, from cotton grown on the estate of Captain Nathaniel Thompson
of Albemarle. The plain white cotton cloth was taken to Louisa
Court-House, where the crudest kind of stamping was done, the
two colors, red and black, showed only on one side. After rhe
stamping process, the cloth was called calico. About this bit of
cotton, hangs a tragical story of nearly a century ago. The cloth
was cut and made into a wrap for an infant — one day the child
while being carried in the arms of a servant, was le: fall, and sus-
tained injuries from which it died, the tiny victim of the slave's
carelessness — had the child lived he would have been a great nncle
of W. N. Parrott.

(Xamed in Chapter 2, Section 4, Sub. Sec. 5.)
Article 1. — Tvrc Browni, a son of Rev. Bernis BroAvn and Henrietta
R(?d<»s his wife, was born in Brown's Cove, .\lbeniai'le County,
Va., June 1.3, 170.'?.
He married Sarah Xicholas, of Rockingham County, Va.
In this connection is set forth. "Family History of the Browns,
by Mrs. M. Virginia B. Osburn, (of Richmond, Mo.,) towit:
"On- the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Albemarle
County, Va., there is a beautiful Cove in the Mountains called
096 History and Genealogies
"Brown's Cove." Here is where the ancestors of our family came to
from over the water, and were among the early settlers of Old
Virginia. I visited this place from the West, when I was a young
lady, in 1877. It was early in April, but the grass was green, and
the weather fine. Spring had already come to that balmy section.
I entered on horse back, in company with my cousins, a daughter
and two sons of my great uncle, Thompson Brown. We stopped at
first at the large white house, of a relative, who received us with
great hospitality. This farm was adjoining the old ancestral home
of Bernis Brown. We stayed over night and rested with this relative
after over ten miles ride, and in the morning crossed the fields and
approached the old Brown home from the rear. The path we fol-
lowed was the one made by the negroes, long ago, as they passed
from one plantation to another on their nightly peregrinations. Many
a 'possum and 'coon had they carried along this path, and, no doubt,
many a chicken from neighboring roosts. The fence was made of
rails, low, and in many places falling down. The old country had
not yet had time to recover from the effects of the Civil War. We
crossed the fence several times before we arrived at the foot of the
slight eminence upon which the house was built, and was a promi-
nent feature of the place. How often out in Missouri, I had heard
my dear aunt Julian, speak of this spring, and wish for a drink
from it!. She lived at this place with her uncle Thompson Brown,
after the death of her parents. Once I heard her say "I never expect
while I live to be able to go back and see that old spring again,
but when I die, I hope I may be permitted to flit by there before
I leave this world." Now here I stood by the sdde of this famous
spring, and how shall I describe it? The ground around it was worn
hard and smooth, and by its side, shading it, stood a tremendous
old knarled oak tree. A large nail was driven into this oak upon
which hung a gourd, and out from beneath a huge lime stone rock,
there flowed into a large stone basin, a crystal drink fit for the gods!
The house was old and unpainted. A conspicious feature of the
place, was the great old oak trees in the yard. I had never before
seen such oaks. In my far away West, where I had grown up, I
had seen taller, knarled, scarred old looking ones Mistletoe grew,
and hung in grea*^ green bunches from the bark of these trees,
giving them a strangely beautiful appearance. As I stood out under
these ancient oaks ("under the mistletoe" for the first time in
my life) I cannot find words to express the feeling that came over
me, as I viewed the scene around. Upon enquiry I found that the
scars on several of the trees were caused by bullets. The Old Browns
were fond of their guns, and the target for the shooting match was
often placed upon these trees.
I never knew the history of the family father back than my
great grand-father. Long years ago, this home right at the foot
of the Blue Ridge — this old home — with its crystal spring and rip-
pling water, its noble oaks, and swinging mistletoe, was the abode
of a Methodist preacher, and that preacher, was my great grand-
father, Bernis Brown. My great, great, grand-father, had a large
family of sons, and they were called the "B. Browns," because^,
they were all given names with B., Bernis, Brazil, Bradbury, and
Benjamin, are some of the names, and to this day these names are
found among their descendants, but out ,of this llarge family,
there is only one which mainly interests me, and that one is my
great grand-father, Bernis. He was the Democrat, while the rest
of his brothers were whigs. He also, was the preacher in the family.
A few rods from the house at Brown's Cove, upon a little knoll,
he lies buried in the family burying ground. I went and stood
by his grave during that memorable visit and noticed it was kept in
History and Genealogies G97
good repair. A plain granite slab, with his name carved upon it
marks' his grave. His wife was laid beside him, and tv/o large
sassafras trees stood near, like sentinels guarding them. I have
never heard anything about his preaching. The cause of this, I
suppose, is that my father was not a religious man. Howev3r, about
two years before my father died, he talked to me for the first time,
about his grand-parent, and related an interesting incident which
reflects honor upon him, and shows that his heart was right. I
do not think that my father had ever mentioned this to any one
else. It was kept a secret, from the first on account of the turbulent
state of affairs in Virginia at that time, and no historian got hold
of it. The brothers of Bernis Brown being of the opposite political
party were not entrusted with this secret, so that their descendants
know nothing about it to this day. The incident is this: Bernis
Brown was an intimate friend of Thomas Jefferson. In the spring
of 1781, during the Revolutionary War, Thomas Jefferson, who was
then Governor of Virginia, fearing the British might capture the
State Archives, which were then at Monticello, entrusted them
secretly to Bernis Brown to take care of and conceal. He took them
out to his home at Brown's Cove, and with the assistance of an
honest old mountaineer packed them upon the backs of
mules and took them up over the "Black Rocks" in the
Blue Ridge Mountains, not far from his home, and concealed
them in a cave. The friends of Jefferson knowing that Monticello
was in great danger of being invaded by the British, would come
to him and ask anxiously about the state archives, and to them all
the great man would only say "never mind, they are safe." The.
invading army did get to Monticello, but failed to get their booty.
The father of Democracy escaping on horse back, and the archives
safe in the hands of his staunch Democratic friend. The secret was
well kept, and to this day no historian has ever known that Bernis
Brown, once had charge of and saved the Archives of Old Virginia.
My grand-father Tyre Rodes Brown, was born in Brown's Cove,
Albemarle County, Va., June 13, 1793. He was an educated man
■and a teacher. He married Miss Sarah Nicholas, of Rockingham
County, Va., and lived after his marriage on his farm on North
River, near Weyers Cave, Va. Their children were a follows:
Section 1. Madison Nicholas Brown, born in Browns Cove, Albe-
marle County, Va., March 21, 1815. He married Mary Sewell Hop-
kins, daughter of Philip Hopkins of Staunton, Va., and niece of
Colonel Joseph Mauzy, on St. Valentines Day 1844. He died Dec.
17, 1780, and his wife Feb. 6, 1896; issue:
1. Mary Virginia Brown; married Mr. Morris Osburn, Dec.
6, 1881. Home Richmond, Mo. One son was born of this union:
1. Worth James Osburn, who is now twenty four years old,
and a professor of mathematics at Central College, Fayette,
Mo. He graduated from Central College and took the Master's
Degree from Vanderbilt University before he was twenty-one.
He was assistant teacher of mathematics at Vanderbilt the
year after he was graduated from there, and is now making a
success of college work.
2. Tho^ias Jefferson Brown; married Miss Clemmie Rust, who
died and left two little girls:
1. Pocahontas Rust Brown.
2. Kate Strother Brown.
These two girls were educated at Stephens College, Columbia,
Mo., and are now living with their father on the old home farm
at Lone Star.
3. Julian Catherine Brown; married Mr. Alfred T. Irvine of
V
fi98 Histori/ and Genealogies
Saline County, Mo., and died March 8, 1875, a few weeks after
the birth of a fine son, whom she named:
V 1. Brown Houston Irvine. This son was drowned while bath-
l ing in Salt Fork, Saline County, Mo., when about twelve years
of age.
4. Frances Elizabeth Brown: died when a child June 19, 1861.
5. Tyre Brown, a fifth child, and second son, was born at "Lone
Star," Ray County, Mo., Jan. 31, 1860, and died Sept. 23, 1893.
He married Miss Sallie Rust. Three sons were born of this union:
1. Roger Q. Brown.
2. Rust B. Brown.
3. Richard Tyre Brown; died at about six years of age.
Section 2. Julian Henrietta Rodes Brown, born on North River,
Rockingham County, Va., April 7, 1818. She married Charles
Carthrae.
Section 3. Sidna Eliazbeth Brown, born on North River, Rock-
ingham County, Va., May IS, 1821. She married Addison Carthrae.
My aunts Julian and Sidna spoke of my father, the eldest, in
the most affectionate terms — calling him "Brother," — -and always
looked up to him with the greatest respect. Dear Aunt Julian has
often told me of the times she would go with him in a boat out on
the river fishing. Some times they would go at night, she carrying
the pine torch. But, alas! alas! the blow came to this happy family.
Typhoid fever, that dread scourge, struck them, and completely
annihilated the home. The father died Dec. 29, 1835, the mother
the next day, and both were buried together.
Then nearly all of their slaves died at that time of the same
disease, leaving the three bright, interesting children, suddenly,
without father, mother, colored servants or home. The three aged
respectively twenty, seventeen and fourteen were not only left with-
out father, mother, kind old servants, and all that made home, home,
but they were each torn apart, and put into the wide, wide world.
How hese homeless orphans must have suffered, and how lonely
and homesick they must have been away off from one another!
Julian went to live with her uncle, Thomas Brown, who then
lived at the home of her grand-father Bernls, in Brown's Cove.
Sidna went to live with an aunt, and my father, Madison, came to
McGaheysville, not far from his broken home, and secured a position
as clerk in the merchantile house of Colonel Mauzy, a wealthy and
prominnt man of that village. At this place my father first met
my mother. Miss Martha Sewell Hopkins, daughter of Philip Hop-
kins, of Staunton, Va., and niece of Colonel Mauzy — a pretty mother-
less girl under the care of her uncle and aunt. Here for several
years these two young peoDle — she four years his junior, met at
the same table and of evenings made sweet music together, he on
the violin, and she accompanying him on the piano. Is it any wonder
that thse two fragments of broken homes should have fallen in love
with one another? They were married Feb. 14th, (St. Valentine's
Day) 1844, and soon went to house-keeping at a small place on
"the pike," now called "Mauzy," about seventeen miles from Mc-
Gaheysville, where my father went into the merchantile business,
in partnership with Richard Mauzy, son of Colonel Joseph Mauzy.
My father's two sisters had long been settled on rich farms in
Saline County, Mo. Sidna having married Mr. Addison Carthrae
and started immediately for the West, her sister accompanying her.
They left Virginia Sept. 9, 1839. A short time after they were in
Missouri, Julian married Mr. Charles Carthrae, brother of her sister's
husband.
Several months previous to my father's marriage he visited his
History and Genealogies 699
sisters and also, his uncle Bernis Brown, who also lived in Saline
Countj*, and was so much pleased with the State, that he became
anxious to make it his home, but it was hard for my mother to con-
sent to leave all of her relatives and friends and so they tarried in
Virgniia after their marriage. But years moved on, and a time come,
when the dream of Missouri was to be realized. Four children were
then born into the family, Mary Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, Julian
Catherine and Frances Elizabeth, and my mother became convinced
that Missouri was a better place in which to raise them. So it was
for her husband's and children's sake she made the splendid self-
sacrifice of leaving everything else, that was dear to her, to brave
"the unknown." It was in the spring of 1854, they parted with
their old friends forever and started with us on our long journey
Westward. We spent the first summer in Saline County, Mo., with
my father's relatives, and in the fall settled upon the farm my father
had bought in Ray County, Mo., which he named "Lone Star."
"Richmond, Mo., Jan. 10, 1907. — Mr. W. H. Miller — :
Enclosed you will find a portion of my sketch of the Browns,
which contains the data you have asked for. As my work will not
be published, you are welcome to do as you please with this part
of it. I can assure you it is truthfully given as far as I know.
I beg to say also, that the incident about Bernis Brown and Thomas
Jefferson in Revolutionary times is true history and not mere tra-
dition, as my father was very truthful and exact in his statements.
The "additional data" I have thrown hastily together for you, but
you can dispense with it if you choose. The family records of Ben-
jamin Brown's family here have been lost, so I can tell you noth-
ing about them. Very Truly,
M. Virginia B. Osburn."

This family was founded A. D. 1677, by Carmac Cas, son of
Olliol Ollum, King of Munster, and Sabia, daughter of Con Kead
Caha, King of Ireland. The ancient name was Deaghlabhairb,
meaning "proper in speech." Their possessions lay principally in
the Counties of Clare and Roscommon. They were also Chiefs of
Tuath-on-Toriadh, and a clan of much note in Upper Ossory,
Queens and Kilkenney.
(Extract from Rooney's Irish Families.)
Until recent date the name was spelled "Delaney," and so found
spelled on the early records of Virginia and Kentucky. Now it is
often spelled "Dulaney." In this book the modern form is used in
spelling the name.
2. — Tates Ci*eek, Dreaming Creek, Viney Fork and Bethel
Oiurches.
The Tates Creek and the Dreaming Creek Churches, both of
the Old School Baptist order and discipline called "United," were
among the very first, if not the first, churches constituted In Mad-
ison County, Kentucky. Another very old church of the same faith
and order was Viney Fork, located on Muddy Creek where the vil-
lage of Speedwell is, which was constituted to-wit: On January 22,
1797, eighteen persons in fellowship met and appointed messengers
to visit Tates Creek and Dreaming Creek, asking for help; and on
February 2 6 they reported to an adjourned meeting, Bros. Andrew
Tribble and Isaac Newland, from Tates Creek, and Bros. Peter
Woods and Christopher Harris, from Dreaming Creek, and on
March 20, 1797, adopted a Church Covenant and Rules of Decorum,
and at a meeting second Saturday in August, 1797, agreed to build
History and Genealogies
701
the Viney Fork Stone Church House, and to call Bro. Christopher
Harris, es pastor for the church, and on second Saturday, October,
1797, Bro. Harris answered the call to preach for them, and he
and his wife joined that church the same day.

Rev. Geo. W. Broaddus, then a member of the Old School Baptist
Church at Viney Fork (at said church meeting house) was ordained
as a minister of the Gospel the second Saturday, April, 1845, by
a presbytery composed of Moses Foley, David Chenault (from Cane
Spring), Nelson C. Alspaugh, Moses B. Willis and Jonas D. Wilson.
Bro. Moses Foley was Moderator and Anderson Chenault, Clerk,
and Elder Broaddus was called to the pastorate of the church, which
he accepted for six months. About this period the church drifted
into the ways of the Missionaries, and soon became identified with
that denomination.
The Bethel Church of Old School Baptists, located on Hays
Fork of Silver Creek, on the Big Hill road, near the present village
of Kingston, and six or seven miles south of Richmond, Ky., was
constituted second Saturday in October, 1813. Elder Christopher
Harris, Moderator.

3. Items froni the Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, by Joseph
A. Waddell:
The business of the people of Augusta was transacted at Orange
Court House until December, 1745, when the Court of Augusta was
organized.
The battle of Both well Bridge in Scotland was fought June, 2 2,
their escape, made their way to Ulster, and from them many of the
their escape ,made their way to Ulster, and from them many of the
people of Augusta County have descended. An appendix to the old
Scotch Book, called "A Cloud of Witnesses," says: "Anno 1679, of
the prisoners taken at Bothwell were banished to America two
hundred and fifty who were taken away by Paterson, a merchant of
Leith, who transacted for them with Provost Milns, Laird of Barton,
the man that first burnt the Covenant, whereof two hundred were
drowned by shipwreck at a place called "The Mulehead" of Darness,
near Orkney, being shut up by the said Paterson's order beneath
the hatches, — fifty escaped." The Bothwell prisoners were herded
like cattle for many months in Grayfriar's Church Yard. Edinburgh
without shelter, half-clad and half-starved. Those who refused to
take the oath of allegiance to the persecuting Government were sent-
enced to banishment. Tlie list of these men reads like a muster-
roll of Augusta County people; including the familiar names of
Ander.son, Brown, Campbell, Miller, Reid, Walker, etc. Among
the prisoners who survived the shipwreck and escaped to Ireland
were Thomas Miller, John Martin, and others.
As far as known the country now embraced in Augusta Couniy,
was never entered by white people until the year 1716. However,
in 1710, some portion of the valley of Virginia had been seen from
the top of the Blue Ridge by Europeans. Governor Spotswood in a
letter to Council of Trade, London, Dec. 15, 1710, says: "A com-
pany of adventurers found tlie mountains not above a hundred miles
from our upper inhabitants, and went up to the top of the highest
mountain with their horses, tho they had, hitherto, been thought to
be unpassable."
It would seem that the adventurers looked into the valley from
the mountains in the neighborhood of Balcony Falls. This i)ortion
of the valley was then entirely uninhabited. The Shawnee Indians
had a settlement in the lower valley, at or near Winchester, and
parties of that tribe frequently traversed this section on hunting
excursions, or on v/arlike expeditions against Southern tribes; but
there was no Indian village or wigwams within the present limits
of the county. The fir.st passage of the Blue Ridge, and entrance
into the valley by white men was made by Governor Spotswood in
1716. Starting from Williamsburg, leaving coach, and taking horse,
at Germanna, a small frontier settlement, where he was joined by
others of his party, a company of Rangers, and four Meherren
Indians, coni]irising in all about fifty persons, they journeyed by way
of the Upi)er Rapiiahannock river, and after thirty six days from the
day they left Williamsburgh, scaled the mountain at Swift Run Gap,
descended on the western side into the valley and encami)ed on the
bank of the Shenandoah river. Proceeding up the river and finding
a place where the river was fordable, crossed it, and there on the
western bank, the Governor formally "took possession for King
George the First, of England." (George I died and was succeeded
in June, 1727, by his son, George 11.) In commemor:\tion of this
r04 HIstori/ and Genealogies
expedition Governor Spotswood sought to establish the order of
"Knights of the Golden Horse-shoe."
In 1727, Robert Lewis, William Lynn, Robert Brooks Jr. James
'Mills, William Lewis, and Beverley Robinson, for making discoveries
of land among the mountians, and des^irous of taking np some of
those lands petitioned the Governor and Council for six years' time
to seat the same.
The first permanent settlement by white people was made by
natives of Germany in 1726, on the Shenandoah river, a few miles
below the present village of Port Republic.
William Beverley, son of Robert Beverley, the Virginia Historian,
and grand-son of Robert Beverley, who commanded the Royal forces
•at the time of Bacon's Rebellion, was a lawyer of Essex County 1720-
1740; member of the House of Burgesses, and of the Governor's
Council, and County Lieutenant of Essex, died March, 1755, his only
son, Robert, then a minor. Said William Beverley in a letter of April
30, 1732, claimed the land by right of discovery and survey, and
says "'he has already sold some of it to a Pennsylvania man"; but
the colony of sturdy Dutchmen were ahead of Mr. Beverley, having
settled several years before near Massannutting, who in pettion to
Governor and General Council claimed five thousand acres they
purchased of Jacob Stover for a great sum of money, upwards of
four hundred pounds.
Among the petitioners was Adams Miller.
Fifty-one white people were settled on nine plantations on the
Shenandoah near Massannutting Mountain in 1733; the settlement
was made in 1729; previous to 1729, there were some, although very
few, white inhabitants there. Among the few white inhabitants
previous to 1729 was Adam Miller. He resided at and owned the
place now known as Bear's Lithia Springs, near Elkton. The certifi-
cate of his naturalization issued under the hand of Governor Gooch,
March 13, 17 41, set forth that he was a native of Sherstien in Ger-
many, and had lived on the Shenandoah for 15 years next before the
date of the paper. Showing that Adam Miller, came to the valley
as early as 17 26. It is probable that Jacob Stover's title to the
property was established, as Gabriel Jones and Thomas Lewis, who
bought lands in 17 51, and made their homes on the Shenandoah
derived their titles indirectly from Jacob Stover, the deed to Mr.
Jones sets forth that Stover had obtained by patent a grant of five
thousand acres.
Besides the German Colony, the early settlers of Augusta were
of the Scotch-Irish race, and up to the time of the Revolutionary
War, very few persons of any other race came to live in Augusta.
At a Council of war held by order of the Governor at Augusta
Court House July 27, 17 56, one of the points on the frontier where
the Council unanimously agreed that a fort should be constructed
for the protection of the inhabtants, was at Captian John MiU'^r's
on Jackson's Creek, twenty miles from Trout Rock.
George Crawford, son of Patrick and Sally Crawford, and to
whom his father left the plantation on which he resided, was born
October 1, 1754, married Nancy Winter, daughter of William and
Ann Boone Winter, the latter the aunt of Daniel Boone, the Kentucky
pioneer. Hannah Winter, a sister of Mrs. Crawford, married Henry
Miller, the founder of Miller's Iron Works on Mossy Creek Augusta
County.
All the children of George and Nancy Winter Crawford, were
daughters, viz:
1. Nancy Crawford, wafe of John Miller.
2. Hannah Crawford, wife of Henry Miller.
3. Sally Crawford, second wife of James Bell.

5. .Martha Crawford, wife of Peter Hanger.
6. Polly Crawford, wife of James Bourland.
7. Rebecca Crawford, died unmarried.
8. Margaret Crawford, wife of James Walker.
The Biographers of the celebrated Daniel Boone, state that he
came from Pennsylvania on an excursion to Augusta in 1748-9, with
his cousin Henry Miller. The latter returned to the county and
built on Mossy Creek the first Iron Furnace in the valley.
February 23, 1744, Peter Scholl and others of Smiths Creek (now
Rockingham) petitioned the court, setting forth that they were re-
quired to work on a road thirty miles distant from their plantations,
and praying for a new road near home, which was granted.
Peter Scholl, was one of the first Justices of Augusta in 17 45,
and probably the same Peter Scholl, who was living in Kentucky in
1776, intimately associated with Daniel Boone, and spoken of as
Boone's nephew-in-law.
Thomas Miller was a member of the 7th Regiment led by
Captain Robert Gamble, when Stony Point was taken .from the
enemy July, 15, 1779. General Charles Lee declared the storming
of Stony Point the most brilliant achievement he was acquainted
with in history.
John Gratton, one of the Church Wardens of Augusta parish in
1774, was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian of the old Covenanter's faith
and practice, noted for his love of David's Psalms in long metre, and
his long prayers at family worship. He settled on North river, now
in Rockingham County, and built the first good flour mill in the
valley.
One of his daughters became fhe wife of Colonel Robert Gamble;
another the wife of Samuel Miller, son of Henry Miller, the founder
of the Iron Works on Mossy Creek in 1774.
The political convention which met in Staunton July 15, 1832,
that recommended Mr. Claj' for the presidency, placed Samuel Miller,
of Augusta, on the electoral ticket nominated by the convention.
Henry Miller, the founder of the Iron Works having died, his
administrators, Samuel Miller, and John M. Estill, advertised for
sale Sept. 6, 1811, the furnace and forge, with 8,000 acres of land,
(supposed to be the most valuable property of the kind in Virginia).
At the Session of the County Court of Augusta, Oct. 16,1793,
the Court ordered the sheriff to erect a gallows at the forks of the
roads leading from Staunton to Miller's Iron Works, and to Peter
Hanger's, and that same be considered as the place of execution of
all condemned persons in the future, which may by law be executed
by the sheriff of Augusta.
William Miller was a musician in Captain John C. Sower's
Company in 1813.
Da\id Miller was a sergeant in Captain Alexander R. Given's
Company in 1813.
In 1818, the Rev. John McCue, who had filled a large space in
the County of Augusta, was thrown from his horse and killed one
Sabbath morning while on his way to Tinkling Spring Church. He
was a good man, when so Inclined could tell comic stories in a man-
ner irresistably laughable. His sons were James A., John, and
Franklin McCue, long prominent citizens of Augusta. Dr. William
McCue, of Lexington, and Cyrus McCue, a lawyer, who died young.
His daughters were Mrs. 'Matthews, Mrs. Potterfield, Mrs. McDowell,
and Mrs. Miller.
The Harrisonburg and Warm Springs Turnpike, chartered in
1830, passed by Miller's Iron Works.

706 History and Genealogies
As early as 173 4 Michael Woods, an Irish immigrant, with three
sons and three sons-in-law, came up the valley and pushed their way
through Wood's Gap (now called Jarman's), and settled on the
eastern side of the Blue Ridge. His sons-in-law were Peter,
William, and Andrew Wallace. Samuel Wallace, (brother of the
latter trio) removed to the Caldwell Settlement, now Charlotte
County, married Esther Baker, and was the father of Caleb Wallace,
a distinguished man in Kentucky, born in 1742.
During the Revolutionary War officers were sometimes trans-
ferred from one regiment to an other. In a list of officers on the
establishment of eight regiments, found among the papers of Colonel
Robert Gamble, after the battle of King's Mountain, which occurred
October 7, 1780, James Woods (grandson of Michael Woods) was
Colonel of the Eighth, Robert Gamble, a Captain, and John McDowell
and Henry Bowyer, Lieutenants of the same regiment. Captain
Andrew Wallace, (grand-son of Michael Woods,) and Thomas Bowyer
of the Eighth are entered as having been killed at King's Mountain.
On the old army list it is stated that Captain Andrew Wallace was
killed at the battle of King's Mountain. Foote states however, that
he was killed at Gulford. He says. Captain Andrew Wallace from
near Lexington was in the regular service and had always shown
himself a brave man. That morning he expressed a mournful presage
that he would fall that day; in the course of the action he sheltered
himself behind a tree, with some indications of alarm; being re-
proached, he immediately left the shelter and in a moment received
his death wound.
Thomas Lewis' home in 17 4 6 was probably at his father's on
Lewis' Creek, about two miles northeast of Staunton; Michael
Woods resided east of the Blue Ridge in Albemarle; the road or path
between the homes of Lewis and Michael Woods was through Woods'
Gap. The Journal of Thomas Lewis (the first Surveyor of Augusta
County) of the expedition of himself and others in 1746 to establish
a part of the line of Lord Fairfax's grant, states; "that Colonel
(Peter) Jefferson, (father of the President late County Surveyor,
and County Lieutenant of Albemarle) and Mr. Brooke set off for
home on Saturday Nov. 15,; on Monday the 17, most of the men
being discharged, the horses, tents, etc., were set up at auction at
Captain Down's, and on the same day Mr. Lewis took leave of the
Gentlemen Commissioners, and started home, he arrived at Michael
Woods about two o'clock, and crossed the Blue Ridge, that evening,
spent the night at Samuel Gay's and reached home on the 19th
'having been absent two months and nine days."
The first County Court of Botetourt was held February 14, 1770,
and John Bowyer was one of the Justices and Richard Woods was
appointed and qualified as sheriff, and James McDowell and James
McGarvack as his deputies, or under sheriffs. On the third day of
the term Andrew Woods was among the members recommended to
the Governor for appointment as additional Justices. ^
Ann Poage, daughter of Thomas Poage Sr. married Major
Archibald Woods, of Botetourt, March 5, 1789, who was a son of
Mrs. Martha Woods, daughter of Robert Poage Sr. Major Woods
removed to Ohio County and died in 1846. His son, Thomas Woods,
who was cashier of the North Western Bank of Virginia at Wheeling,
was the father of the Rev. Edgar Woods of Pantops Academy,
Albemarle.
Joseph Bell of the Stone Church family was in 17 81, an agent
for buying cattle and on Feburauy 2 4, wrote to the Govprnor in
regard to the difficulties, the farmers were unwilling to sell to the
State on credit and under orders from Colonel (James) Woods, he
had seized many cattle. Attorneys paid to do so, pronounced the
History and Genealogies 707
proceedings illegal and he expected to be sued. He said, however,
"Good Whigs perform their duty with most punctuality."
Under ordinance passed by the State Convention in July, 1775,
providing for the organization of Minute Men, the Commissioners
from the Counties of Buckingham, Amherst, Albemarle and Augusta,
composing a district, met on the 8th of Sept., 1775, at the house of
(Colonel) James Woods, (son of Colonel John Woods, and Susannah
Anderson, of Albemarle) in Amherst, now Nelson.
Samuel McDowell was one of the commissioners from Augusta.
Virginia furnished fifteen regiments of regulars, known as the
Continental line. James Woods was the original Colonel of the
Twelfth regiment, and Charles Lewis of the Fourteenth, (Colonel
James Woods, about the year of 1795, removed to Kentucky and
settled on Paint Lick Creek in what is now Garrard County. His
wife was Mary Rice.)
The first Session of the County Court of Rockridge was held
April, 7, 1778, at the house of Samuel Wallace. John Bowyer, j,nd
Samuel McDowell, were two of the first Justices present. Among
the other Justices commissioned was Andrew Reid. Andrew Reid,
being appointed clerk was sworn in. Among other County Officers
who qualified were: Samuel McDowell, Colonel; John Bowyer, Lieu-
tenant, and James McDowell, County Surveyor.
In 1782, the Marquis of Chastillux, a French ofHcer, traveled
■extensively in Virginia. The Marquis and his party forded South
river where Waynesborough now is, and put up for the night at a
little inn kept by Mrs. Teaze, or Teas, a daughter of Colonel John
Reid, son of Thomas Reid, who came from County Down Ireland.
Thomas Reid was a brother of John and Andrew Reid, the latter the
father of the Rockbridge family.
Mary Cunningham, was born in or a little before the year 17 47,
having been baptized in that year, by the Rev. John Craig. After
attaining womanhood, she became the wife of Robert Reid, son
of John Reid, "of the Kingdom of Ireland," as he is described in
the payment of an old suit; he was a tavern keeper and the owner
of seven hundred and forty acres of land adjoining the town of
Staunton and a house and lot in town. In the evening of the first
Sunday in December, 1775, the young preacher, McMillan rode from
the Stone Church, with Mrs. Reid and lodged at her house. Mr.
Reid died in October, 1787, intestate and without issue. His estate
escheated to the commonwealth, subject to the widow's dower
Interest, but in 1789, the Legislature passed an act granting the
property to Mrs. Reid. Mr. Reid, however, had a brother, John Reid,
and two half sisters, Mrs. William Reid, and Mrs. William Buchanan,
and the descendants of one, or more of those relatives, after Mrs.
Reid's second marrige, brought suit to recover the property but
were unsuccessful.
Spottsylvania County had jurisdiction over the lands of the valley
from the date of the first settlement, 172 6-173 2, till 1734, when
Orange County was constituted. After the latter date, for some
years the valley was a part of Orange. The County Court of Orange
was opened January, 21, 17 34, and among the Justices included in
the commission of the peace issued by Governor Gooch was Benjamin
Borden, a native of New Jersey, and agent of Lord Fairfax in the
lower valley, who obtained from Governor Gooch a patent dated Oct.
3, 1734, for a tract of land in Frederick County, which was called
Borden's Manor, and was promised 100,000 acres on the James
river, west of the Blue Ridge, as soon as he should locate a hundred
settlers on the tract. Borden and Beverley were indefatigable in
introducing settlers from Europe. Borden's Tract was south of
Borden's Manor, and in the present County of Rockridge, The first
708 History and Genealogies
settlers on the tract were Ephraim McDowell and his family. His
daughter, Mary Greenlee related in a deposition taken in 1806, the
circumstances under which her father went there. Her brother, Jas.
McDowell, had come into Beverley's Manor during the Spi'ing of
1737, and planted a crop of corn near Wood's Gap, and in the fall
her father, her brother, John, and her husband and herself came to
occupy the settlement. Before they reached their destination, and
after they had arranged their camp, on a certain evening at
Linnville Creek, (now Rockingham) Borden arrived, and asked per-
mission to spend the night with thfem, being on his way to his Tract
from his Manor in the lower valley. He informed them of his grant
and offered them inducements to go there. The next day they came
on to the house of John Lewis, and there it was finally arranged
that the party should settle in Borden's Tract.
Ephraim McDowell was then a very aged man, and lived to be
over one hundred years old; when a youth of sixteen was one of the
defenders of Londenderry. He and his family located on Timber
Ridge, orginally called "Timber Grove", being attracted by the forest
trees on the ridge, which were scarce elsewhere in the region.
Borden offered a tract of one hundred acres to any one who
should build a cabin on it, with the privilege of purchasing more
at fifty shillings per hundred acres. Each cabin secured to Mm
(Borden) a thousand acres.
Mrs. Mary Greenlee, in her deposition, related that an Irish girl
named Peggy Millhollen, a servant of James Bell, dressed herself in
men's clothes and secured five or six cabin rights.
Samuel and Richard Woods, were among the settlers in Borden's
grant. Borden obtained his patent Nov. 8, 1739. He died the latter
part of 174 3, in Frederick, leaving three sons, Benjamin, John, and
Joseph, and several daughters.
The next spring his son Benjamin appeared in Rockbridge (as
it is now) with authority under his father's will to adjust all mat-
ters with the settlers on the grant. He had been in the settlement,
however, before his father's death.
Mrs. Greenlee says: "Benjamin Borden, Jr., * * * proved
to be an upright man, and soon won the confidence of the people."
The saying "As good as Ben Borden's bill" passed into a proverb.
He married Mrs. Magdalene McDowell (originally Miss Woods, of
Rockfish, daughter of Michael Woods and Mary Campbell, his wife)
widow of John McDowell, who was killed by Indians in December,
1742, and by her had two daughters, Martha and Hannah. Martha
became the wife of Robert Harvey; Hannah never married.
Benjamin Borden, Jr., died of small-pox in 1753. His will was
probated in Augusta County Court Nov. 21, 1753. The executors
were John Lyle, Archibald Alexander, and the widow, Magdalene.
Mr. Lyle declined to serve. His personal estate was large. Mrs.
Magdalene Borden contracted a third marriage with Colonel John
Bowyer.
Michael Bowyer and several sons of French Huguenot descent
were among the early settlers of Augusta County. Michael Bowyer
died prior to 1761. His sons, viz:
Thomas Bowyer moved to Botetourt, and in 1780-1 was a
Captain in the 8th Virginia Regiment, Continental line. Afterwards
Major, and died childless in 1785.
John Bowyer, settled in Borden's Tract in 1753, when quite a
young man, and at first was a school teacher. He soon married
Mrs. Magdalene Woods-Borden, as stated, and became independent.
In 17 63, at Augusta Court he qualified as Captain of Militia, was
one of the first Justices of Botetourt in 1770. In 1781 was Colonel
of Rockbridge Militia, and went with his command to lower Vir-
History and Genealogies 709
ginia on the occasion of Arnold's invasion. He died near Lexing-
ton, Vii*ginia, in 1806, leaving no issue, and is remembered as
General Bowyer.
William Bowyer, was a merchant in Staunton from 1766 to
1775, and maybe longer. In 1772 was a member of the vestry of
Augusta parish and a church Warden in 1777, and as Lieutenant-
Colonel of 'Militia, commanded a body of men sent to re-enforce
General Mclnbosh, on the Ohio River in August, 1776, and was
Lieutenant-Colonel of Colonel Sampson Matthews' regiment in the
expedition to lower Virginia in 1781, and was Sheriff of Augusta in
1784. He had a daughter who married Mr. — Miller, ancestor of
the late Fleming Bowyer Miller, of Botetourt.
Michael Bowyer, qualified as Lieutenant-Colonel of Militia at
Augusta Court in 1763, and was a member of the vestry in 1773,
and of the County Committe in 1775. Early in the Revolution he
had a store in Fincastle which he left in charge of his nephew, Henry
Bowyer, to join the army.
On the 2 8 February, 1739, John McDowell, whose history is
given in Part II, Chap. 4, Sec, 1, w'hich will not be repeated here,
with his wife Magdalene (Woods,) his son, Samuel McDowell, and
John Rutter, his servant, came from Great Britian in the year 1737,
to dwell in the Colony and settled in Borden's Tract. He had two
sons, Samuel, and James, and a daughter, Martha, wife of Colonel
George Moffett.
Samuel McDowell was born in 173 3. In 1773 he was a member
of the House of Burgesses from Augusta County and was, it is
reasonably certain. Captain of an independent company of Rangers
at the battle of Point Pleasant in 1774. In 1775-6, he, and Thomas
Lewis represented Augusta County in the State Convention. When
Rockbridge County was formed in 1777, he became a citizen of that
county, his residence being there. In 1781 he commanded the
battallion of Rockbridge Militia at the battle of Gulford. In June
of the same year he was sworn in at Staunton as a member of the
Governor's Council, Governor Xelson qualifying the same day at the
same place. At the close of the war in 1783, Samuel McDowell
removed to Kentucky with his wife and nine younger children
leaving two married daughters in Virginia viz: Mrs. Andrew Reid,
whose husband was the first clerk of Rockridge County Court, and
father of • the late Samuel McDowell Reid, of Lexington. The
other daughter, Sally, the first wife of Judge Cabel Wallace of
Charlotte County, afterwards of Botetourt, who was first a Presby-
terian minister, then a lawyer, who removed to Kentucky and be-
came a Judge of the Court of Appeals of Kentucky.
Samuel McDowell, was one of the three Judges of the first
Kentucky Court. President of nine Conventions which met at
Danville Ky. between December 27, 1784, and July 26, 1790, and
also of the Convention which framed the first Constitution of
Kentucky in 1792. He died in 1817 aged 84 years. His son Dr.
Ephraim McDowell, studied medicine with Dr. Humphrey, in Staunton
Virginia: completed his professional education in Edinburg Scotland,
and was very eminent as a surgeon. Amonw the numerous descen-
dants of Judge Samuel McDowell were General Irvine McDowell, of
the U. S. Army. General Humphrey Marshall, and the wife of James
G. Birney. the Liberty Candidate for President of the U. S. in 1840
and 184 4. The wife of Judge Samuel McDowell was Mary McClung
whose brother, John McClung, was the father of William McClung,
who removed to Kentucky and became a distinguished Judge. He
died in 1815. His wife was a sister of Chief Justice Marshall, and
his sons, Colonel Alexander K. McClung and Rev. John A. McClung,
D. D., were highly distinguished.
710 History and Genealogies
A brother of Judge McClung, the late Mr. Joseph McClung lived
until his death on Timber Ridge.
James McDowell, son of John McDowell and Magdaline Woods
had one son James McDowell, Colonel in the war of 1812, father
of the late Governor James McDowell.
Martha McDowell, daughter of John McDowell, and Magdaline
Woods, married Colonel George Moffett, son of John Moffett and
Mary Christian, his wife. Colonel Moffett was born in 1735. He
lived on the Middle river farm, owned for many years past by the
Dunlap family, called Mount Pleasant, and built the stone dwelling
house still on the place. He was not only prominent during the
Indian Wars, and the Revolution but was so, also, in civil affairs,
having been a Justice of the Peace, an Elder of the Presbyterian
Church,, and one of the first trustees of Washington College, Lex-
ington, Virginia. He was a man of commanding presence and emi-
nently religious. He died in 1811, aged seventy-six years, and was
buried in Augusta Church grave yard. His children were: John
Moffett, James McDowell Moffett, Samuel Moffett, William Moffett,
Mrs. General McDowell of Kentucky, Mrs. Colonel Joseph McDowell
of North Carolina, Mrs. Kirk of Kentucky, and Mrs. James Coch-
ran of Augusta County, Virginia.
James McDowell Moffett was the father of the late Mrs. John
McCue, and Mrs. Cochran was the mother of John, George M., and
James A. Cochran.
Robert 'McDowell proved his importation May 22, 1740, in the
Orange Court.
Prior to 174 5 there were no courts and court days except at
Orange Court House beyond the mountain. No lawyers resided in
this bailiwick till 17 53, when we find Gabriel Jones, the King's At-
torney, residing on his estate near Port Republic. But the sturdy
Scotch-Irish people pressed into the country and by the year 1745
the Andersons, Bowyers, Bordens, Breckinridges, Browns, Camp-
bells, Lewises, Millers, Moffetts, McDowells, Pilsons, Poages, Pres-
tons, land others abounded in the settlement.
On the 30th of July, 1742, the inhabitants of Borden's Tract
petitioned Governor Gooch to commission John McDowell, Captain
of Militia, George Moffett, James McDowell, three Andersons and
others were signers of the petition.
On the 27th of November, 17 42, the inhabitants of Borden's
Tract petitioned for a road to Woods Gap and tlie Court ordered
that the road be cleared from James Young's through Timber Grove.
The military force of Augusta in the fall of 17 42 consiisted of
twelve companies of about fifty men each. William Beverley was
County Lieutenant, James Patton, Colonel, and John McDowell was
one of the Captains. All grown men were enrolled regardless of
age. Ephraim McDowell, then an old man, was a member of his
son John's company, and among the privates were sundry Irvines
and Millers. David Logan and Robert McDowell belonged to Cap-
taine Cathrey's company.
John McClannahan, Jr., son of John McClannahan, and Mar-
garet Ann Lewis, his wife, moved to Kentucky in 1807, returned
to Virginia on business, and died in 1815, probably at Lewisburg.'
He inherited from his father the land on which Lewisburg is built.
His wife was Mildred Maupin. of Williamsburg. They had seven
children, only two of whom lived to maturity and married, viz:
John Gabriel McClannahan, married Eliza McClung, of Green-
brier, and died in 1838.
Virginia McClannahan, married Captain John Gantt, of the U
S. Army, and their only son:
History and Genealogies 711
N. B. Gantt, was li^^ng in Louisville in 1890. Mr. Gantt wrote
"that lys grandmother, Mildred Maupin McClannahan, related that
she had often heard her mother-in-law say that at the time her
husband (the first John McClannahan) died the fort was beseiged
by Indians, and as she sat by his bed she heard their whoops." In
her prayer book is this entry: "June 30, 1774, that fatal day,"
probably the day of her husband's death.
Xote. — Likely the above named John Gabriel McClannahan was
named in commemoration of his two grandfathers, John McClan-
nahan and Gabriel Maupin, and his mother, Mildred Maupin Mc-
Clannahan, a daughter or grand-daughter of the first Gabriel
Maupin, the French Huguenot immigrant, and Marie Spencer his
wife; most probably the daughter of their son, Gabriel Maupin,
who was also an immigrant.
Gabriel Maupin, Senior, died testate, and it is an old story that
he in his testament gave his son, Daniel Maupin, only a French
crown, because he married contrary to his father's wishes.
Daniel ^laupin married Margaret Via, and raised a large family
of sons and daughters, whose descendants are of the best families
of Virginia and elsewhere. Several of Daniel Maupin's sons served
in the Indian Wars and protecting the frontier before the Revolu-
tion against the Indians, and also in the Revolutionary War.
Daniel Maupin died testate in Albemarle County, Va., in 1788.
His descendants have a record as soldiers hard to surpass. A great
number of them were in the Civil War, mostly in the Southern
army, and their blood was spilt on nearly every battlefield in Vir-
ginia and Maryland, as well as on other fields.
W^illiam Ramsey, Samuel Carrithers and Hugh Barclay were
part of the jury empannelled May 14, 1778, to try Mary Walker for
"speaking words maintaining the power and authority of the King
and Parliament of Great Britain over the Colonies of America,"
whom they found "guilty," and the court sentenced her to close
"gaol" four days and a fine of 15 pounds and 10 shillings.
Wallace Estill, of Irish descent, was born in New Jersey in
1707. His first wife was Marcy Bowdy. After the birth of five
children he removed with his family to Augusta County, between
1744 and 1747, and a sixth child was born in Augusta.
Benjamin Estill, the second son of Wallace Estill and Marcy
Bowdy, was born September 20, 17.35; married in Augusta Kitty
Moffett. He was a Justice of the Peace in 17 64 and afterwai'ds
removed to the Holston. His sons were: Captain John M. Estill,
of Long Glade, Augusta County, and Judge Benjamin Estill, of
South West Virginia.
Wallace Estill married a second time, Mary Ann Campbell of
Augusta: By this marriage he had nine children, among them: James
Estill, born November 9, 1750, and Samuel Estill, born September
10, 1755.
James Estill married in Augusta, Rachael Wright, and removed
to Greenbrier. Before the year 17 80, he removed to Kentucky, and
settled at Estill's Station, in the present County of Madison, and fell
at the battle of Little Mountain with Wyandotte Indians in March
1782.
Samuel Estill the younger brother of James, married Jane Tess
or Teas, and also emigrated to Kentucky. He was celebrated in his
youth as an Indian fighter, and for his great size in his latter years,
at the time of his death weighing 412 pounds.
At an early day the people living on the East side of the Blue
Ridge were called Tuckahoes, from a small stream of that name,
while the people living on the West side were called Cohees, from
712 Histori/ and Genealogies
their common use of the terms, "Quoth he, or she" for "Said he,
or she."
4. — Referring; to Robert Harris, the Imiaiigrant from Wales, and
his son AVilliam, wlio married Temperance Overton, of Parti
III, Cliapter 2.
Some entertain the belief, and may be correctly, that Robert
Harris came from Wales to Richmond, Virginia, and was employed
in the tobacco house of one Rice, who soon died, and Robert Harris
married his widow, Mary, who was a daughter of William Clay-
borne, Secretary of the Virginia Colony, and that William was born
in Virginia. His father having engaged in the tobacco business,
probably led William to be a tobacconist.
5. — Note referring to Part III, Cliapter 3, Section 4, Sub-section 5,
and Chapters 6 and 12.
In Part 3, Chapter 3, Section 4, Sub-section 5, in setting forth
the children of James Harris and Mary Harris, his wife, it is stated
that Lucy Harris married Thomas Grubbs; the authority for said
statement appears on page 221 of Rev. Edgar Woods' History of
Albemarle County, Virginia. Notwithstanding, it would seem that
said Lucy Harris married Higgason Grubbs and immigrated with
her husband to Madison County, Kentucky, confirmed by facts
hereinafter stated.
The statements appe'aring in Part IH, Chapters 4, 6 and ^2,
and possibly elsewhere in said Part, that "Two sons of Christopher
Harris and Mary Dabney, his first wife, married daughters of Hig-
gason Grubbs," and that "Robert Harris married Nancy Grubbs,
daughter of Higgason Grubbs," and that "Christopher Harris (Rev.)
married Elizabeth Grubbs, daughter of Higgason Grubbs," are erro-
neous in so far as saying they were "daughters" of Higgason
Grubbs; the truth of the matter is they were sisters of Higgason
Grubbs. This mistake was not discovered till since going to press.
The records of the Madison County Court show that "Lucy" was
the name of the wife of Higgason Grubbs. Quoting from deed re-
corded in D. B. I., p. 2 5 0, date July 9, 1812: "L Higgason Grubbs,
of Madison County, and State of Kentucky, do hereby relinquish
all claim as hu.sband to my wife, Lucy Grubbs, daughter of James
Harris, deceased, of Albemarle County, Virginia, by virtue of a will
made by James Harris aforesaid, which gives to said Lucy Grubbs
one-sixth of certain negroes he lent to his wife, Mary Harris, dur-
ing her widowhood or lifetime," etc.
Higgason Grubbs had numerous land transactions, probably
more than any other man in the county in his active days save
General Green Clay. He married in Virginia and immigrated to
Madison County, Ky. at a very early day in its settlements, and
v^hilst Kentucky was a part of Virginia, and known as Kentucky
County. He was here prior to 1781, and remained till his death in
1830. 'His wife Lucy survived him only a short while. Higgason
Grubbs established, it seems, two forts in the present County of
Madison: Grubbs' Station, on Tales Creek, two miles west of Hoy's
Station, in 1781, and Grubbs' Station, on Muddy Creek, prior to
October, 1792. (Col. His.)
Miss Lizzie Berry has a wonderfully good mind and retentive
memory, and has taken great interest in her people, and genealogy
and knows a great deal about her ancestors, and the old pioneers
of the county, much she got from her father, (Major James Berry,)
who never forgot anything in his life, and knew the pedigrees of
History and Genealogies 713
people of his nativity better than most any one, and his daughter's
statements are entitled to much weight and credit.
The following sketch was furnished by Mr. Charles S. Grrubbs,
of Louisville, Ky., of the law firm of Grubbs & Grubbs (Ch.i-. S. and
Rodman Grubbs), office Kenyon Building, 216 Fifth Street:
HIGGASON GRUBBS.
Higgason Grubbs was one of the early and prominent settlers
of Madison County, Kentucky. He came into the state from Vir-
ginia about the time of the exodus from Albemarle and other coun-
'ties, about 17 SO, ha\ing prior to his removal to Kentucky inter-
married with Lucy, daughter of James Harris, of Albemarle County,
Virginia. He ^aV an extensive dealer iif" lands, and while, possibly,
living in Lincoln County a few years, he seems to have been, with,
this exception, a resident of Madison County until his death, June
30, 1830. (He lived a while in Estill County.)
The records of Lincoln, Madison, and other Counties, principally
Madison, disclosed many transactions relating to the purchase or
sale of lands, or to the defense or prosecution of suits growing out
of the question of title. He came into Kentucky from Virginia, and
from Albemarle County.
The earliest record indicating his presence in Kentucky is
found in the shape of a deposition in Madison County, Ken-
tucky, given on the 14th day of March, 1801, in which he locates a
corner tree on' a survey, he testifies that in October, 1780, he and
Jesse Copper, while buffalo hunting camped at the root of a beech
tree, which bore the initials "H. G." and "J. C." and the figures
"1780." He testifies that the initials were put on this tree at the
time named; and that the tree is the one called for in the Shelton
survey.
In the same suit Jesse Copper testifies that "he and Grubbs had
gone buffalo hunting from the Station where James Hendrick's
now lives."
On July 9, 1812, (D.B.I, p. 249.) Madison County, Higgason
Grubbs relinquished all claim as the husband of Lucy Grubbs,
daughter of James Hari'is, deceased, of Albemarle County, Virginia,
under the will of James Harris.
Collins History of Kentucky Vol. II, p. 521, states that Grubbs
Station, Madison County Kentucky, was settled by "Captain" Higga-
son Grubbs, before October, 1781.
In the case of Grubbs vs Lipscomb, Madison Circuit Clerk's office
Book B.p. 442. Aguilla White testifies that he removed from Grubb's
Station in the spring of 1783. Cradlebough (William) testifies
that Grubbs' Station was also called Hancock Station, and was on
the waters of Tate's Creek.
His prominence in the early settlement of the S'tate is shown
by this synopsis of his public life:
1. 1787. One of the Trustees of Boonesboro, appointed by
Governor of Vii'.ginia to sujjijIv i)lace of first trustee who refused to
act, the appointment being made under "Act to explain and amend
the Act for establishing the town of Boonesbrough, Madison County
Kentucky," (Virginia Legislature 1779,) passed December 29, 1787.
Hennings Statutes. Vol. XII. p. 603. See, also Hennings Vol. XII.
p. 37. 240, and 7S8.
2. Member from Madison County Kentucky, of Convention in
Danville 1787-SS.
3. 1790. Member Virginia Legislature from (Madison Co.. Ky.)
Counties formed in 1792, into State of Kentucky. (His name appears
/%«^
714 Hi'Stori/ and Genealogies
frequently in Journal of the House of Delegates Commonwealth of
Va. Session began Monday October 18, 1790.)
4. 1792. Member and representative (Madison Co.) '1st.
Constitutional Convention.
5. Member House Representatives (Madison Co.) Kv. 1792-
1796, 1797, 1978, 1801, and 1802. He seems to have retired from
public life about this time, probably being compelled to do so by
reason of the necessity of looking after his private interest in lands,
which seem to have been the subject of more or less litigation grow-
ing out of conflicting titles. The records of Madison County dis-
close this fact and it would seem that in his later years he lost
much, if not all, of his estate which he had acquired in his earlier
and more prosperous days.
6. Grubbs' Station, Madison County Kentucky, settled by
Captain Higgason Grubbs before October, 1792. (Collins Histoid
•of Kentucky.)
Higgason Grubbs seems to have been an only son, but he had
the following sisters, some of whom, at least, removed to and lived
in Madison County, Kentucky.
1. Elizabeth, married Christopher Harris.
A 2. Nancy, married Robert Harris. •-
3. Mary, married Moore.
4. Hennie, married Andrew Ray (Rea.)
5. Lucy, married Thomas Gooch.
6. Sally, married James Berry.
7. Annie, married William Boone.
8. Susan, married Bartow.
In Virginia History and Biography Vol. VIII. p. 212, descendants
of Daniel Maupin, Albemarle County, Va. it is shown that Andrew
Rea, married Henrietta Grubbs.
Thomas Grubbs, the oldest son of Higgason Grubbs, died in
Montgomery County Kentucky, many years ago, but the family
tradition is that he was born in Virginia.
In addition to Thomas Grubbs, Higgason Grubbs had four sons
and one daughter, all of whom were born in the State of Kentucky,
and died residents of this State.
John Grubbs one of the sons, married his cousin, Lucy Gooch,
and the only daughter married Barnes.
Besides a member of patents issued in Kentucky, the records
Richmond, Va. show the following patents were issued to Higgason
Grubbs.
Higgason Grubbs, assignee of John Jackson, Book G. p. 247,
100 acres 1781.
Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Samuel Baldwin, Book G. p, 252,
200 acres.
Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Wm. Hancock, Book G. p, 2 50,

100 acres.
Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Green Clay, Book W. p, 268,
400 acres.
Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Green Clay Book W. p, 466,
1300 acres.
Higgason Grubbs, assignee of Samuel Clements, who was assignee
of Samuel Walnut, Grant L. Henry, June 2, 1784-15. 400 acres.
John Higgason of New Kent Co. Book 10 p, 63, 122 acres. 1712.
John Higgason, Book 410, p, 536, 2037 acres. 1716.
Higgason Grubbs seems to have acquired the title of "Captain,"
and while it is posible he was connected with some of the early
military bodies that came into the state, no evidence is found of
History and Genealogies 715
his being a Commissioned officer. He was a surveyor and the records
of MaclisonCounty, Kentucky, show that he was a man of education,
as he wrote a good hand, spelled accurately, and in many instances
in giving depositions and preparing legal documents these documents
seem to have been in his own hand writing, and were carefully and
well drawn. Attached hereto are two e.xtracts, one from the Richmond
Climax, a paper published in Madison County, which were written
by William Chenault, now dead. One of these articles speaks of
"William Grubbs, a pioneer and father of Higgason Grubbs."
In Gleanings Virginia History, Boogher, the name Grubbs ap-
pears at the following points:

In St. Peter's Parish Register, Xew Kent Co. Va. the Vestry
Book has this entry: "1754, Anne, daughter of Hensely and Su-
sannah Grubbs, born October 6, baptized November 10, 1758.
Susannah, daughter of Hensely and Susannah Grubbs, born May
15, baptized June 18."
W^e observe supra, two sisters of Higgason Grubbs, married a
Harris, and he had a nephew, Hensley Harris, well known in
Southern Kentucky, where he died some years ago. Hensley seems
to have been a family name, but are not advised where the name
Higgason comes from, except, it is an old Virginia name, found in
York and other Counties, where Captain Robert Higgason, and
others of the same name were well kown.
In the Library of Congress, Manuscript Division, Vol. 8 page
1067, and Vol. 9 page 1128, will be found letters of James Grubbs
to James Munroe, who was evidently of Virginia.
There is also, in the Library of Congress a pamphlet of the
Grubbs family of Pennsylvania and Delaware, some of whom re-
moved into Virginia. This family was the immediate descendants
of John Grubbs, who immigrated from England, 1677 and settled
at Grubbs' Landing, Delaware, 1681. Judge Ignatius C. Grubbs, of
Wilmington, Delaware, is a descendant of this line, and has given
considerable attention to the family history both in America and
England. While the families are each, possibly, of the same origin,
English, no connection between the two has so far been made.
In England the name is Grubb and Grubbe, but there seems to
be no definite explanation why another branch spell the name
"Grubbs". Possibly the accidental changing of the old English
fiinal "e" to "s".
Extract from the Climax:
VisitiiiiEj His Old Home.
"James William Parrish, Esq. of Winchester, came over last
week to meet the few remaining friends of his boy-hood. He was
born in Madison, but left here half a century ago. His father was
Samuel Parrish, who came from Lexington about 1817, and married
a daughter of Captain James Berry, who was wounded in the battle
of Little Mountain, in which Captain James Estill was killed and
brought to Boonsborough on the back of the slave Monk.
Capt. Berrys wife was a daughter of William Grubbs, a pioneer,
and sister of the distinguished Higgason Grubbs, who represented
Madison County in two famous Separation Conventions at Danville,
also in the Constitutional Convention of 1792, and was representative
in the first Legistature which convened at Lexington, and Elector
71C Tlistorij and Genealogies
of the first Senate, an office that perished with the first Constitution.
Mr. Grubbs' daughter married Squire Boone Jr. nephew of the
immortal Daniel, and father of Major Levi D. Boone, of Chicago.
Mrs. Parrish's brother was Major James Berry, formerly Post-Master
of Richmond. Mr. Parrish and the late Thomas Parrish of the Fox-
town vicinity were brothers.
He has many attachments for his old home. When a young man,
he boarded at the "Widow's Inn," a hotel kept by two widows in
what is now the Dellingham, or Climax building. Mr. Parrish is
hale and hearty. He was accompanied by his nephew, Mr. J. A.
Parrish, better known as Captain Jack 2:08%. — Richmond Climax.
From a series of articles by William Chenault, now deceased,
which appeared in Richmond (Ky. ) Register:
"In the fall of 1791, Captain Higgason Grubbs built a station
six miles east of Madison Court House and moved a few families
to that place. A crop was raised here in the summer of 1792, but
the inhabitants left the station for a short time In the summer
through fear of Indians, and returned again in the same fall.
A convention was called at Danville, on the 2nd of April, 1792, to
make a Constitution for the new State of Kentucky about to be
admitted into the Union on the 1st of June of that year. Madison
was represented in this Convention by Thomas Kennedy, Joseph
Kennedy, Thomas Clay, Higgason Grubbs, and Charles Kavanaugh.
The pro-slavery clause of the Constitution was the main issue before
the Conventdon. All the delegates from Madison were for the clause,
except Charles Kavanaugh, the pioneer Methodist minister, who
recorded his vote against pro-slavery feature of the Constitution.
He was true to the teaching and doctrines of the pioneer Methodists
of the County that no man should purchase a slave except in case
of mercy and humanity.
In May, 1792, Isaac Shelby was chosen Governor, not by the
people but by forty electors chosen by the people. The electors
chosen for Madison County were William Irvine, Higgason Grubbs,
and John Miller. Our first Senator was, also, elected by the forty
electors, and their votes gave the position to Thomas Kennedy.
A contest soon arose over the location of the Capital of the state
and Boonesboro made quite an effort to obtain the prize. On the
30th of August, 179 2, the citizens of the county subscribed $8,166.67
in money and 18,550 acres of land to secure the permanent location
of the Capital at Boonesboro. The two largest suli'scribers were
Gen. Green Clay, and Judge Thomas Clay. The first gave $1,000
in money and 10,000 acres in Madison County land. The second
gave 3,000 acres of land in same county. Liberal sums were donated
by John Holder, William Bush, William Calk, William O'Rear,
D. Bullock, Robert Clark, Jr. Robert Clark, Sr. John Moore, John
Wilkerson, James McMillan, James French, Robert Blkin, William
'Hayes, Henry Haynes, Peter Evans, Bbenezer Piatt, Higgason Grubbs
and many others.
On the first day of June 1792, the District of Kentucky became
the State of Kentucky. Governor Shelby appointed David Gass,
John Miller, James French, and Robert Rodes as the new Judges,
of the Court of Quarter Sessions. John Snoddy, Archibald Woods,'
Joseph Kennedy, Adam Lewis, Thomas Kennedy, and Moses Dooley
were made Justices of the Peace with power to hold County Court.
John Boyle, the old pioneer Justice, who had roamed the County
with Daniel Boone, sold out his farm near Estill Station and moved
to the Western end of Madison in the present County of Garrard.
With John Kincaid, of Milford, he had followed the flag of Gen.
George Rogers Clark, in his expedition against the Kaskaskia and
Vincinnes in 17 7 8 and 1779, and was one of the sufferers from the

robbery of Daniel Boone al Painter's Fork in 1781. His friend
Joseph, Kincaid, had already fallen on the bloody battle field of
Blue Licks where he was a soldier in the same company with
Ezekiel Field, the father of the well known merchant of Richmond.
The pioneer element of the County was beginning to yield other
Influences. The sway of military men was yielding to that of the
farmer, the teacher and the professional man. The way was be-
ginning to be opened for the coming of Barnabas McHenry and
John Finley, to the County and their influences as teachers in the
County was long to be felt upon the rising young men of the County
and State at large." (Signed) W. C.

JAMES HARRIS.
They had six children, James, the sub-
ject of this sketch, being the second
child. He was born in Boone County,
May 17th, 1818, and died in the same
county, July 11th, 1881. He was given
such an education as was afforded by the
common schools of Missouri at that day
and was one of the first graduates of
Bonne Femme Academy. He later studied
the art of surveying, and w^as at one time
Deputy United States Surveyor and sur-
veyed many of the public lands in Mis-
souri and Arkansas preparatory to bring-
ing them into market. He was elected
several times to the office of County Sur-
veyor of Boone County, the duties of
which position he discharged with great
credit to himself and satisfaction to the
people. In 1858 he was elected as Boone
County's representative in the State Leg-
islature and in 1866 was elected County
Court Judge, which position he held
for twelve years. Colonel W. F. Switz-
ler in writing of his official serv-
ices in the Columbia S^tatesman says that "to Judge Harris more
than to any other man is Boone County indebted for its excellent
credit and fair name among the various Counties of the State."
During the Civil War Judge Harris, although a slave owner and
in close social and buisness relations with the South, was an out-
spoken Union man maintaining from the first and throughout the
struggle that the government of our fathers should be kept as one
and inseparable forever.
Judge Harris united with the Bonne Femme Baptist Church
August 8, 18 39, and was a member of this one congregation for
nearly forty-two years. As a Baptist, his influence was known and
felt throughout the entire State. He was one of eight men to give
$5,000 each to found a school of theology at William Jewel College.
He was one of the organizers and founders of the Baptist Female
College at Columbia, Missouri, now known as Stephens College, and
from its foundation and continuously up to the time of his death
was one of its trustees and most loyal friends.
On December 5th, 18 48, Judge Harris was united in marriage
with Sabra Brown Jackson, daughter of Judge Wade M. Jackson of
Howard County and niece of Clayborne Jackson, at one time governor
of Missouri. Mrs. Harris died at the home of her son David H.
Harris in Fulton, Missouri, on December 29th, 1903. To this marriage
there were born fourteen children, as follows:

From childhood he was naturally very
delicate. Although no marks of any set-
tled disease were visible, yet he was un-
able to perform any hard physical labor.
Possessing a playful and gentle disposi-
tion," he was a great favorite among his
early coanpanions — rarely, if ever, known
to be out of humor, or in the least to be-
come irritated, as was common with boys
of his age. He never used profane lan-
guage. Or engaged in gross wickedness of
any kind.
In early youth, Tyree Harris possessed
extraordinary sprightliness; at the age
of six years he commenced school, and
with uncommon aptness he comprehend-
ed, as with instinct, every probilem pre-
sented to him. Though the schools of
that day were greatly inferior to what
they are now, yet his progress was re-
markable. At the age of thirteen fears
were entertained of his early decline with
consumption; but by such exercise as suited his inclination his
health was restored.
In October, 1839, he attended the regular monthly conference
of the Baptist Church at Mt. Gilead, in Howard County, Mo., and
under the faithful preaching of Elder Thos. Fristoe, he, for the first
time, clearly saw himself a helpless sinner before God. He went
home the same evening in deep distress, with a clear view of the de-
ipravity of the human heart. But ere long the burden was removed;
and delivered from the thraldom of sin, through faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, his soul -was enabled to rejoice in His redeeming grace
and dying love.
At the regular meeting of the Bethlehem Church, in Boone
County, in November following, he was received into fellowship by
experience and baptism, by that faithful servant of God, Fielding
Wilhite. His prayer at the water will never be forgotten by those
who were present. His whole soul was drawn out in the most earn-
est melting appeal and supplication to the Divine throne, that young
Tyree Harris might be qualified to dispense the word of life and
become an eminent minister of the gospel. He commenced the ex-
ercise of public prayer with great acceptance. In December, 1841,
the church granted him license to preach, which he did, to the as-
tonishment of multitudes who heard him. Shortly after this, Row-
' land Hughes of Howard County, learning the future promise of young
Tyree Harris, and hearing him on one occasion himself, proposed to
take him into his family and complete his education, which he did
History and Genealogies 723
to the saiisfaciion of all concerned. He was educated in Boonvllle,
under tProfessor Kemper.
His youthful appearance, together with his bold and earnest
manner, his untiring zeal, his eloquent and pungent appeals from
the pulpit soon won for him the name of the "boy preacher."
His style was forcible, attractive and popular; his manner easy
and graceful; his voice sweet and mellow. With a clear, strong
mind, he possessed great vivacity of thougt and versatility of style.
Fluency of speech and lively imagination were combined to make
him a "bright and shining light." His manner, both in private and
public, in the pulpit and out of it, was such as to make him popular
both with the church and the world.
In December^^ 1S43, he assisted in the constitution of the first
Baptist Church in the city of Boonville; and in August following he
commenced his labors with this church as their regular pastor.
Though young, he commanded an influence for good and attracted
great congregations, and soon succeeded in building a large and
commondious house of worship. Under his minstry his church en-
joyed a high degree of prosperity; members were added almost
monthly by experience and baptism, until they became a large and
influential body.
With the brethren in Boonville he spent the prime of his short
life. This people loved him dearly. The name of Tyree Harris is
still fresh in the menory of those who enjoyed the labors of this
eminent divine. Whilst in the field he also for a time preached for
the churches at Big Lick and Nebo, in Cooper County, and after
eight years of successful toil he left a large church and took charge
of the congregation in Fayette in 1851.
In 1852 he commenced his labors as pastor of the church in
Columbia, Mo., where, by his distinguished pulpit efforts and his
Christian and gentlemanly deportments, he endeared himself to a
large circle of admiring friends and acquaintances.
During his pastorate here he was also president of the Columbia
Female Academy. And under his able superintendence the in-
stitution flourished beyond a parallel at that time. He canvassed
the state in behalf of the institution, presenting the claims of female
education; and his eloquent appeals met a liberal resiponse, for
around him were gathered 12 5 young ladies from all parts of the
state.
In 1853 he was called to the chair of English Literature in
William Jewell College, but did not accept the position.
In 1854 he was called to take charge of the Female College at
La Grange, in Georgia, but did not accept.
After two years of arduous toil in the pulpit and schoolroom,
he was called to and accepted the care of the Baptist church in
Lexington, Mo. He entered upon his labors in this field with re-
newed ardor and zeal, and determined to spend his life with the
people of God there. He was soon attacked with typhoid fever,
and in two months after he entered upon his duties there he was
called to his reward.
His wife's maiden name was Lavinia Hughes.
Bro. Harris was considered by all who knew him as the ablest
and most promising young man in the state. View him as a man,
as a minister of the New Testament, and hear his earnest appeals
from the sacred desk, and you would mark him as a man of no
ordinary talent. As pastor, he was kind, affectionate and prayerful;
as a reasoner, clear and forcible; and as a speaker he had strength,
beauty and eloquence. Possessing these rare gifts, he was success-
ful in all his labors on earth, and now, whilst his works do follow
him his memory is fragrant in the hearts of many.
